Regarding giving the option to switch view: a qualitative usability study I've made pointed in the direction that either users didn't see the purpose of changing view or simply ignored the feature. Meaning you risk drawing attention from more useful features (like search result sorting) if you waste you screen real estate on having it.

Grid views are predominantly used on sites selling merchandise when the visual appearance matters to the customer (ie, clothing). List views are used when the text is important like a model number or more technical info is what matters (ie, printer ink, Computer RAM).
