Mirroring vs Replication

Question

How to decide whether to choose a Replication or Mirroring in SQL Server 2005 to provide data availabilty and performance at the same time.

To be more specific

Answer 1

It turns out that Database mirroing prevents data to be accessed directly, mirrored data are only accessable through a database snapshot, so reports from snapshot data will not be up to date so, I will use Database Transactional Replication to provide high availabilit and load balancing.
