Data pages are definitely better when compared to RD . You need to carefully evaluate and choose the option to reload once per interaction when you have no viable alternative. If you are aware of certain user actions which would need a data refresh you can rather try performing a Page-Remove with Data Page name as the step page.

Data Pages are better than report definition as you can also the restructure the data into your desire page formats. In addition ther results would be cached.

Thanks

Best practiced is to use data pages as those are called declaratively.  Report definitions can be a source for a data page.  Otherwise, using a report definition directly may require using an Activity to trigger it.

The data page will be readily available on client side , if it has been loaded once. Further based on the refresh strategy it will be reloaded freshly from the DB.

NOTE : Node level data page's would still be available on the server node to which the requestor is currently connected . It would be copied to the requestors clipboard on reference
