    It depends how you wish to present your data.

    If it is a straight list then use UL

    If it is a list containing other variables that relate to each item, use a table

    Neither - they are for different purposes.

    An unordered list (UL) is for a list of information

    A table is for showing tabular data

    If it is a single column of information then a UL should be used as it is a list not a table.

    If it is a single column but multiple items contained in each cell (td) then you are using tables for layout and so should consider a <div> instead
