I have some user-specific data that I need to store in SharePoint and make accessible to the user through custom webparts. Let's say a list of favorite URLs. What would be the most straightforward way to store this information?

Some builtin propertybag for SPUser or similar that I'm not aware of.
SPList, associated through User column.
Custom database table, associated through SPUser ID.
Otherwise?

Sounds like a RTFM to me, but I'm probably asking google the wrong questions.
