From the user's point of view, both pages are very similar. As it's written (with DreamWeaver, I'm guessing) the second page creates much more complex code.
The right answer is (c) none of the above. Create the page in absolutely plain HTML (better yet XHTML strict) You do not need any tables for this design. Tables are not for layout, they are only for tabular data.
Use CSS to set up the visual layout. You can get exactly the layout you wish, either through positionable CSS or the float attributes.
Please see examples from my book:

It seems like a lot of work to learn it this way, but it will definitely pay off. Your pages will be better-looking, will work in more browsers, and will be easier to maintain and update. You'll also be prepared for the next step when you use programming languages to make your page do more. When you get there, you need to be able to code HTML by hand.
Good Luck!
