Several things to think about:
1) If you want to store a tag for EVERY cell, then just use an IS. Cell
numberings are guaranteed to be
contiguous and start from 0.
2) If you want to tag only SOME cells, then use a DMLabel as Lawrence
suggests. This uses hash tables
for fast construction, and sorted lists for fast search and retrieval.
3) If you want to store a VARIABLE number of data items per cell, then use
a Section and an array that you allocate.
