Personally I prefer the database option and will go with this unless anyone
shouts. 
This will result in only 2 bitpim files, settings/preferences and the
database. This will make adding a feature to load multiple phone databases
and/or switching databases much easier.
I think (windows) users have gotten used to being able to go to the
filesystem to copy the files, adding a file export feature to work on all
ringers/wallpaper (kind of like the export feature on other widgets) should
make up for this.
