There is no universal answer that is generally considered to be The Right 
Thing To Do.

The correct answer depends on many factors. The nature of the data, how it 
is structured. You're going to get a different answer if your data is just 
some two-dimensional grid, or if it can be represented as some kind of a 
hierarchically-organized data, or if it something completely ad-hoc, like a 
command/response, or any one of many possibilities.

Therefore, the only person who knows the answer to your question, is really 
you.
