Yes, manipulate the dataProvider first. You will have much better performance for one thing. Rendering a bunch of unwanted elements is not a good approach.
Also, if you DO still want to do complex work with a repeater, put it in a component, and repeat that. Encapsulate the behaviors within the component. You will find its a much more intuitive way to code. Pass in the entire currentItem.

Why not just filter the dataProvider so as not to add them in the first place?
