NOT CSV*

* For reasons as to why you wouldn't use a comma to separate your values,
please refer to this excellent article by Richard Gaskin:

Unfortunately, using 1 Card + Flat File means you have to code all the
search, filter and sort capabilities that you get free if you use SQLite.
Depending on your data and the likely searches that will be carried out,
this may not be a trivial matter and may take just as much time to
implement as learning how to use SQLite with LC.

If you want to hone your LC skill set then 1 Card + Flat file would be the
way to go.

If your looking to expand your horizons, then learning how to implement
SQLite into LC will definitely open more doors for use in more projects
down the road.
