Both.

Not really. I do it only for those types that are reused across many 
forms and therefore warrant defining a datatype and convertor. At the 
moment, we have developed datatypes for a bunch of "geographical" 
objects like Town, Province, Country, that are used in all the forms 
where you have to input an address. And we have a single "GeoDAO" class 
for all entities of this kind.

In general, I would do this for every "datatype" that is implemented as 
a look-up-table (key => value) in the database and is reused in more 
than a couple of forms, or across more than one different project.
