That's simpler.

When I go to a bookstore, sometimes I need to check if a book I'm thinking to buy I don't have it already... ;-) So, the 
web pages need to be consultable in a smartphone.

A static site is better and easier to do. The only reason to use a CMS software is to be able to render in a smartphone 
display.

The interest of directly use the *.tc file instead of csv dump is that you don't need to do manual operations like 
launching tellico, dumping it and launching an external script to do the job. If it's ok for you, why not ?
