HTML or CSS - which one do the crawlers (spiders) prefer?

HTML is best for legacy browsers that cannot implement the positioning elements of CSS2. Believe it or not, people still use Netscape 4.7 which cannot render any CSS2.

Cascading Style Sheets allow websites to have less garbage in them, and should be easier for spiders to index. It also allows your pages to be rendered faster - HTML tables are time intensive for browsers to render. Done properly, a page using mainly CSS / XHTML should be half as large as one using HTML 4.x.
