Choosing a way to implement a product catalog?

Question

MODX

I'm struggling with the choice of how to implement the product catalog.
Of course, you can also put a shopkeeper, but why hammer nails with a microscope?
The task is simple: There are approximately 6 categories, 40-90 products in each. It is possible to expand up to 200pcs in each category. We need the usual output of product cards with a name, price, and a short description. Filter products by category, price, and a couple of those. parameters.
As I understand it, there are a couple of ways to implement this:
1. Use a resource tree. Create an article for each product and display it through PdoTools. Well, most likely for convenience, so as not to suffer with a tree view - Collections
2 way: Create a separate table in the database and output from it. Each line is a product.
Which of the methods is preferable?
