[coding] Mid-level data storage.

How many fields are there and what are the data types? How much memory is tied up in the array? If the data types are small and the overall memory footprint is small, I'd definitely go with an array.

Is the data grid completely filled or are there a lot of blanks? If there quite a few empty cells, you might think about multiple arrays or, for some things, creating an object with the values assigned as properties.

It pretty much depends on exactly what's in it (the data itself).
