You may want to look into the concept of Command Query Separation. I wouldn't worry about typed repositories for lookup values, but I'd still probably use DTO type classes over datasets etc...

You may want to spend some time reading Greg Young's blogs starting from this one to the present. He doesn't talk about filling lookup data specifically but he often talks about not handling the reading/reporting functionality of your application through typed methods on a repository.
