What's the best implementation for more than one background service in an ASP.NET application?
- Timer Callback - Timer timer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(MyWorkCallback), HttpContext, 5000, 5000);
- Thread or ThreadPool - Thread thread = new Thread(Work); thread.IsBackground = true; thread.Start();
- BackgroundWorker - BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker(); worker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(DoMyWork); worker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(DoMyWork_Completed); worker.RunWorkerAsync();
- Caching like http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASPNETService.aspx (located in Jeff Atwood's post here) 
I need to run multiple background "services" at a given time. One service may run every 5 minutes where another may be once a day. It will never be more than 10 services running at a time.
