    Using text/csv is the most appropriate type.

    You should also consider adding a Content-Disposition header to the response. Often a text/csv will be loaded by a Internet Explorer directly into a hosted instance of Excel. This may or may not be a desirable result.

    Response.AddHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename=myfilename.csv'); 

    The above will cause a file ‘Save as’ dialog to appear which may be what you intend.
