Question about ActiveX Controls and ActiveX DLLs.

When is it best to use/create an OCX project versus an ActiveX DLL? I ask
this because I have a project (client side) that uploads and downloads files
using WinInet.
I have a VB front end (for testing and debugging). At the end of the day, I
want to automatically download the components to the client via the browser.
I understand and realize that IE browser security setting can hinder
installation, which is fine and we'll deal with "Digital Signing" at a later
date once we know all works well. However, I'm not sure whether to create an
OCX or DLL, and indeed "Which is Best".
As I'm still realativley new to this kind of thing, I've talked to other
peers and it seems that generally it is a "Developer Preferrence" as to the
direction to take.
I'm a little skeptical about this approach as I would think there would be
some "Accepted Practices or Guidelines" to determine the best course of
action.
I would appreciate some general direction.
TX.
