Follow the golden software development rule:
1. Make it work
2. Make it work right
3. If something is slow, figure out how to make it faster AFTER it already works right

>>> I will preface this with "I have no idea what your requirements are" but speaking from experience: Anytime I've tried to cheap-out and take the quick and dirty route with my model I've always regretted it. I would just bite the bullet and model the relationship to an eo. I can think of a bunch of downsides of working with a relationship modeled as an array or similar, and not many upsides. And given the tools (EOGeneration, Migrations, etc) it's not really a big deal to do it right.
