There is no preference to use either Data Reader or DataSet. It's all depend upon your need throughout your application. If you are creating an application of the type that it can able to perform the task after one time fetching of data then you should go with DataSet. But even after this, there are many such important scenarios that you have to kept in mind before picking between them.
We are going to consider some points to use Dataset.
1.) It can cache your data to your application so that you can easily manipulate it.
2.) It interacts with data dynamically throughout your application.
3.) Through this you are able to process on data without an connection, i.e., you can able to work on Application in the Disconnected mode also.
So, if your project validate the above properties then you can go with DataSet otherwise you can pick up a DataReader to improve your performance of the application.
