C/S probably. I find n-tier architecture to be over-hyped, except in some
specific applications. The idea that you can update business logic and
objects on the middle tier without having to update the client is a fine
principle, but it hardly ever works out that way in real life. Connection
pooling is useful for the middle tier (in database applications), but the
principle of the disconnected dataset in .Net negates that for the most
part. For the smaller size stuff I build, it doesn't really add anything, or
so I've found. If logic and objects are going to be used across a range of
applications, that would be a different story.

Or so it seems to me.
