I need some experience-based advice please. Using Magento CE 1.7.0.2.

I'm writing a custom extension to store featured products. I need to be able to create simple lists, store them in the database and then assign products to each list. I need to know the following:

1. Do I need to create a custom table to hook into or should/could I use an existing table.

2. If the above answer is 'yes', which one(s)?

Any other helpful advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.
