Are log entries categorized?

If you need to decide whether to use pages or custom database tables, here are helper questions:

• Is there a free-form text with markup?
• Does each entry have a unique title?
• Are the entries categorized as a tree?
• Do you want to connect comments or other page-specific plugins to each entry?

If all 4 answers were yes, then you should better use pages + extra fields. If you answered no to most questions, especially the first two, then you'd better create your own data model.
