WPF Grid vs Stackpanel

Question

For WPF/Silverlight layout, is it better to use a Grid with lots of rows and columns, or tons of Stackpanels?

Answer 1

I think the Grid is a better idea. I usually set up the general layout with a Grid and use a few stackpanels here and there to do some specific stuff. I also have a feeling that performance is better with Grids and that Grids generally give you more flexibility.
