What are advantages of Data Combo and data list over simple combo and list box?

None really, apart from improved ADO integration, though ODBC is available through the data source property built in to VB. I would suggest coding yourself: it's not complicated and reduces compatibility issues; also to use the data objects the user needs some out of date ocx files.

They were originally designed for Forms 1; I never use them personally.
