iOS What is preferred method of data storage?

[darkpegasus]

This may seem like a stupid questions, but I couldn't find an example of it anywhere. Is there a specific way that user preferences should be stored?

I basically have some simple attributes like a background image name that I would like to save and then load next time the user opens the app.

NSUserDefaults

Awesome, thanks. And for those that might need more than a one-word reply (although it's amazing what one word can tell you):

-(void)saveToUserDefaultsNSString*)myString
{
NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

if (standardUserDefaults) {
[standardUserDefaults setObject:myString forKey"Prefs"];
[standardUserDefaults synchronize];
}
}

-(NSString*)retrieveFromUserDefaults
{
NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *val = nil;

if (standardUserDefaults)
val = [standardUserDefaults objectForKey"Prefs"];

return val;
}

I just save all the user info as an array within an NSData object on a file in documents directory.
