First of all the question is wrong.

Viewstate, cookies, application, Urlencoding are State Management Techniques
not Session Management Techniques.  Session Management Techniques are
Inproc, StateServer and SQLServer.  Comming to which one is best depends
upon the scenario.

State Management Techniques are mainly divided into two categories
1) Client Side State Management Techniques
- QueryString
- Cookies
- HiddenField
- ViewState
- ControlState
- HttpContext.Current.Item (Newly Introduced in .NET 2.0)

2) Server Side State Management Techniques
- Application Object
- Sessions
- InProc
- OutProc
- StateServer
- SQLServer
- Cache Object
- Profile Properties (Newly Introduced in .NET 2.0)

All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. So we should pick one of
them based on our requirement.
