TrieGetCell is cleaner. If you want to add a cvar, without tries, you would have to add one elseif and one equal in the middle of your code. In the worst case (where the string is not in the list), you have "size of the list" calls to the native "equal".

In this particular case, the efficiency should be almost the same. If the string list was big, tries would be a mandatory choice.
