    Forget about server side controls in ASP.NET MVC. Everything containing runat="server" is a big NO in ASP.NET MVC. Won’t work in Razor anyways. There are no pros and cons. Server side controls should never be used so there’s nothing to compare. Simply use HTML helpers such as Html.EditorFor and Html.TextBoxFor.
