Are there any SEO or user-experience considerations between using...


Tables: <table> <tr> <td>
Lists: <ul> <li>
Definition Lists: <DL> <dt> <dd>


Example of each:
jsfiddle.net/ey9umph9/2/
Assume each usage is appropriate (aka, if I had data in four rows and five columns, it would obviously be best on a table).

But if there is data that would be appropriate for all three items above, for instance a set of terms and their definitions, is there any consideration/benefit to using one or the other? or, is it entirely a personal preference of the web developer?

This is not a STYLING question, assume the CSS/display of each is equally and appropriately appealing to users.
