I have found a good link for you,

I would prefer WebApplication since this is project based and also you'll get better control under a source control.

Could you explain what source control has to do with this?

You can simply check in files into source control and it won't get automatically added into the project in case of Web Application. But for Website its not like that since it is based on file.
Let me know your comments.

Hi,

website development comes under WebApplications

two Web applications are 1.Websites abd 2.Web Services

Here Websites are served to end users
and webservices are served to developers.

Based on your capabilities you've to decide among them.

for eg.

you are developing ticket booking for your shows
in this case you've to develop all your booking logic in web service then use that logic in your website.And publish that webservice to net to use another developers to integrate your booking logic in your website.

I hope you understood What I said

All the Best
