Actually the viewstate property store the data in Base 64 format in by default. but the textbox will store the text as plain text. Its easy to hack if you u store the value in the hidden textfield. Some times its depends on your requirement. For better suggestion we need how you are going to use.

Cool , Be simple ...its viewstate.

There is a concept of hiddenfield also,so theres no need to use hidden textbox.You can also make use of session.It wont make load on your page.

You can have very brief and informational article regarding sessions on below link

You can use hidden filed or view state both are same store on client side as base 64 and not secure.
If you want it secure then store as session variable.
It is make little load on you server as session is manage server side.
