I will preface this with "I have no idea what your requirements are" but 
speaking from experience: Anytime I've tried to cheap-out and take the quick 
and dirty route with my model I've always regretted it. I would just bite the 
bullet and model the relationship to an eo. I can think of a bunch of downsides 
of working with a relationship modeled as an array or similar, and not many 
upsides. And given the tools (EOGeneration, Migrations, etc) it's not really a 
big deal to do it right.
