well ok
serializing/unseriazing is still different than implode/explode
both are not very handy though
implode could be better if you want to search your in your "pseudo

serializing if you dont want to do anything expect then saving/reading
hasMany or even HABTM as Robert stated would be the best choice in
most cases
especially as cake has beautiful automation for it anyway
