The only drawback I found in a asp:hyperlinkfieldthat you cannot bound the field or concatenate the string like below expression. You will get an error. 

<asp:hyperlinkfieldheadertext=”Title”
            datatextfield=”title”
            datanavigateurlformatstring=”page_details.aspx?id={0}&status=<%= Status %>“  datanavigateurlfields=”id” />

Below is a suggested way to get it done.
Create an template column and add a hyperlink to it.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText=”Link”>
<ItemTemplate><asp:HyperLink ID=”hltitle” runat=”server” NavigateUrl=’<%# FormatUrl( (int) Eval(“title”) ) %>’ Text = ‘<%# Eval(“title”) %>‘ />

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Most recommendable way to do it, do it through code behind. use RowDataBound events.

Sub GridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
‘You can bound your data here 
End If

I would appreciate your comments.
