If you just want the table to work without much "extra restructions"
such as rules for something like "if the manager sets this column to 1,
then this other column can't be 2", then yes it should be the best
choice [or even if you do need such restrictions, it'll still work, but
will require more on your part].

The SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB and the SNMP-TARGET-MIB are the standard way
for configuring notification destinations and targets and thus most
managers understand them.  Doing something similar in your own MIB means
all the other "standards-based" managers won't know how to configure
your device.
