I'd go for the server side option, as:

A) you don't have to send an HTML file to the client before the redirect
occurs;

B) you can't guarantee that the redirect on the client browser will work, as
Javascript may be turned off or the browser may not support Meta-Refresh.

This applies to all server side scripting languages, not just ASP.
