When it comes to which is better, the best option is to write using both options, then profile it, as which is better is context-dependent.
By profiling that application the OP can find the best option for his use, and have the numbers to back it up. If you know how many items you are going to have in a collection, for example, then the arraylist is obviously the better choice. If you are adding/removing frequently then it won't be the best choice. I tend to use an arraylist, since I read often from my preferences, and can split up the string that is stored there, so I know how many items to store.
