We have been using jqGrid on a project and have had some good luck with it. Lots of options for inline editing, etc. If that stuff isn't necessary, then we've just used a plain foreach loop like @Hrvoje.

We have just rolled our own due to limited functionality requirements on our grids. We use some JQuery here and there for some niceties like pagination and that is all we really need.

If you need something a little more fully featured you could check out ExtJs grids here.

Also MvcContrib has a grid implementation that you could check out - try here. Or more specifically here.

If it's just for viewing data, I use simple foreach or even aspRepeater. For editing I build specialized views and actions. Didn't like webforms GridView inline edit capabilities anyway, this is kinda much clearer and better - one view for viewing and another for edit/new.
