It depends on how you inted to use this data. Simplest way is inherit you class from Serializable and dump LinkedList to a file. This works great if you don't need random access to elements of this list.

SQLite is good and flexible but it requires much more coding effort.

Using directly SQLite in my opinion is the easiest and most straightforward way to do it. I would consider an ORM-Framework only if I have a lot of classes to store. But I am assuming that's not your case.

Straight serialization to a file might be a good idea, but I would prefer SQLite to have the possibility of using database versions, adding indexes and performing more complex search on the data easily.
