Which should I use?

In deciding which type of Authentication to use, it's important to keep the following points in mind:
  • You want the widest possible audience, along with browser and platform independence. (impacts NTCR (Integrated Windows Authentication in Windows 2000) and cookies)
  • Performance is critical. If (as you hope), your site becomes wildly popular, you don't want a dead-slow server (impacts SSL/Certificates, ASP)
