How do I decide which HTML object I need?

After reviewing many web pages I have come with some guidelines to select an HTML object and its impact on performance.

1. Criteria - If records are less than 5
Object type to use - Radio button/Check box
Example - Male/ Female

2. Criteria - Records rarely increase & is easy to scroll & choose
Object type to use - Drop down
Example - City, State, Country

3. Criteria - Records increase but still in range & limited filters to search
Object type to use - AJAX look up (AJAX call can be triggered after certain no. of characters are typed)
Example - Clinic names, Site names.

4. Criteria -Records are in thousands and can increase also, many filters to search
Object type to use - Use Lookups (popup screen)
Example - Search an item by item id, item name, store name, item type, etc
