Evan,
In my case I have 35-40 employees using the app. However, obviously over time it could grow, who knows. But at any given time we have no more than 7-8 people on any given project.

I guess I could see the benefit there as it will also be a button marking it as a favorite which seems easier than another method.

Hi Ivan,
If only 7-8 people might favorite any one record the user field would work out ok, it just has an upward limit if for example 50 people might want to favorite the same record. Though the favorites table long term might be a little easier to track, etc. For your use case it is mostly if you have concerns about people adding or removing other's favorites and throwing things off. Also if you wanted a smoother experience like the button to just add a favorite and then a report to manage the favorites they currently have.
