Best strategy for custom profile properties in MVC 3

I need to implement some (maybe 10) custom properties for logged in users for my MVC3 vb.net web app. These will define how certain data is displayed within my views.

I can think of a couple of possible solutions..

  1. Session variables. Will do the job but seems a bit untidy, and can't be strongly typed
  2. custom properties of the current user object; is that even possible?
  3. Custom profile provider. Looks like it might be a good option.

Has anyone got any tips on what worked well for them?

I already have custom membership and role providers that are working fine.

Thanks!

First solution - use standard ASP.NET Profile Properties feature.

If for some reasons you can't use that - then I'd vote for custom profile provider.
