Is it better to use a DataTrigger instead of data binding?

Question

If I wanted to hide (or change the visibility, color, etc.) of an element in WPF, is it better to use a DataTrigger or a binding to the converter?

It sounds like two ways to achieve the same goal. When is it better for the user one above the other?

I can tell you about my experience.

I use data binding with converters for the following cases:

For a property Visibility(there is a built-in converter in WPF).
In Silverlight applications (although the library Microsoft.Expression.Interactionshas silverlight-compatible data triggers, they are not as convenient as WPF triggers).
. , 5 if-else, 5 datatriggers.

Datatriggers:

MVVM: viewmodel, .
