Default end with .html or / ?

What's the cleverest way to name and link to pages?

food/candy/twizzlers.html is standard.

I've seen it recommended to link to it this way instead: food/candy/twizzlers/
and to simply name each page index.html, placed within its own proper folder (in this case, "twizzlers").

What do y'all recommend?

Thanks,
Julia

The cleverest way for what it may help with search engines because the name of the directory is important but the name of the page is also important i would test it out on a few pages and see which one works better for you and then tell me what happend

I got the tip from here:
http://www.wikihow.com/Organize-Files-on-a-Website

Maybe you could let me know if you think it's sound advice?

Whenever I try to google these things, the majority of the results have Wiki somewhere on them, and it takes a minute to tell if it's a wiki about pagebuilding or a page about wiki-editing. :/

Look at my site... All the url's appear to be folders. However I just use an .htaccess file, with mod_rewrite.
