Answer 1

I tend to favour a web api to handle all of the database work (via entity framework), but use MVC for my front end application.

This way you have all the flexibility of an API should you want to use different frameworks in the future (Angular, ASP.net 5 etc), but you can still have the pleasure of working MVC in your front end site.
