Is it better for SEO to use tables on a homepage or to use lists?

Any preference?

    If it is for layout divs.
    If it is for a list then lists.
    If it is for tabular data use tables.

    That is the web standard.

    For SEO you need to be semantically correct with the code.
    <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>, <p> etc...

    Always naming images with SEO in mind, also using the alt attribute in the images with SEO in mind.
    Same with links but the title attribute.

      Alright. Thank you for replying. And thank you for the information. I think I understand it better now.

      I believe the client is using tables currently on their homepage but really it is a list, more like a directory. So I think I'll advise him to change to a list. Thanks again.

    List is a lot better than tables for cleaner and more SEO friendly websites.
