The first is correct. p=paragraph so a new paragraph should begin with a <p> tag. There aren't many reasons to ever use <br> - one might be for representing poetry, where each line is not a paragraph but demands it's own space.
<address> tag is much more sematic than ul li as i think. u r showing Contact info not a content text so i would not use <p> and <br> to show contact info atleast.
<p>Contact Info:<br /> First Last<br /> 555-555-5555<br /> name@company.com</p>
If you're starting a new paragraph, use the <p> tag.
This would be an ideal situation to use Microformats. In it's current state the information displayed is meaningless to other computers, therefore you cannot share that information easily nor can you have any impact in terms of SEO. To mark up your content semantically, using appropriate, meaningful tags with their intended function (as laid out at the w3c), then your sites will be searchable and shareable - thus making them achieve higher positions in search engine results and allow greater networking potential. The <br> tag is pretty meaningless in these terms and although not officially deprecated yet, it doesn't add any meaningful value to your markup. Avoid it's use unless you feel you have a valid semantic reason to do so.

The address tag was not intended to be used for street addresses. Rather the address relating to the document itself. It might seem strange but using the <address> tag for your home address is not semantic in HTML terms.
This
or this
when you want to break the line......
I use it a lot I must admit, mind you p /p or br br that is the question???
I find it easier to use br br, but I am not a purist, i just find it easier
p { padding: 10px 0 0 0 }
will work and is even easier then <br />
or put it on the bottom padding, however works best for you or the project.
:o)
If you're starting a new paragraph, use the <p> tag.
<ul>
<li>Contact Info:</li>
<li> First Last</li>
<li> 555-555-5555</li>
<li> name@company.com
</ul>
<p>This is the first part<br /> I want this part to be dropped down below it.</p>
I would say that is perfectly acceptable and, if I'm not mistaken, exactly what the <br> is there for.
