Yes, the primary weakness of records would be upgrading them. You could do it with a map-reduce job, but it would be better in general to use a more fluid data structure.
Whether you choose proplists or dicts will depend on how many properties you need. Dicts become more efficient when the number of keys grows large, but for most cases a proplist or orddict would be good enough.
