In my opinion, it would be better to use SQL than
arrays. I say this because, what happens if your
computer crashes and you are only using arrays and
changing data in those arrays? The data is lost, your
boss is angry because of the time lost. If you use
SQL, the data is stored, nothing is lost. It may bog
the system down if you are doing a lot of changes,
constantly. It shouldn't hurt it too much.
