There's another merit in array over the built-in collections (except
IEnumerable) and that is the lack of Add()
query result should not have "Add" method as it might confuse users

var items = FindAll();
items.Add(new Item() );

(is the new item in the data store now or not?)

my repository methods these days are all IEnumerable<>.  (same for most
collection properties)
