2. Site Provisioning (Programmatically) - You can create easily Site Template using this way because all controls in your hand (in your code). Add SPList, Delete SPList, Provision Web Part etc.
3. Site Template - For SharePoint 2010, Site Setting > Save as Site Template. Save as .WSP file in Solution Gallery. - For SharePoint 2007, Site Setting > Save as Site Template OR type /_layouts/Savetmpl.aspx in your web url. Save as .STP file in Solution Gallery.
