Neither. Use the proper elements for the content you want to serve out to
your visitor. So a paragraph is a paragraph. A header is a header, a list
is a list, a table is a table, an abbreviation is an abbreviation. If
something needs to be emphasized, you give it emphasis. There are so many
elements around you could use (see
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html>, that is hard to
imagine you think of content that can't be marked up with one of those.
However, if there is content for which there is realy no specific element
available, _than_ you use a div for a block level element and a span for
inline content.
Oh, and to answer your question: use CSS2.1 for layout
