Hi Tiemo,:

I know, that most people prefer custom properties, but is it just a question
of "school", or is there perhaps a difference in memory usage or other "hard
facts"?

Custom properties are stored within the stack file when it is saved, whereas globals die when the Rev engine or your standalone quits.

So if your variables are non-persistant, then globals better fulfill that function. If you have variables that are populated after startup and don't need to persist after shut down, putting them in custom properties simply increases the physical size of the stack file for no useful purpose.
