XF 2.0 Question about arrays...

[[xFv]]

Hello!
I need an Array, so I thought it would be a great time to learn about them.

Basically I need 150 items listed in a select option in style properties.
I figured it would be a simple array and no need to access the database for any reason.
The only reason I need to do it this way is so the format parameters in edit options dont go down too far.
So on that note, I have a couple questions...

1: Would a PHP array, or template array be better for this project?
2: Could anybody point me to a XF2 array being tutroial or example?
3: Would I need any listeners and/or class extensions?


I think thats all my questions for now.
THANK YOU!
