I have used Text fields and have considered using Objects for that kind of storage, but they both give me a hint of that old Subtable feeling. The data is buried in a field within a record. Objects have some tools to help with this, and it's easier to build a complex tag structure.
A related table gives access to all the convenient built in query, reporting, and display features of 4D.
