Helper or Element?

Hi all.

I'm wanting to create a simple helper or element which displays a menu. I've read around and have seen that others have created helpers which create dynamic, database-driven, nested menus. This seems to be too much for my needs. I also tend to think that the creation of a menu should be in an element.... just cuz it seems "more appropriate" - wish I had more justification.

<?php
$this->element('menu', array(
'items' => array(
'First' => array('attr'=>'...'),
'Second' => array('attr'=>'...'),
'Third' => array('attr'=>'...'),
),
));
?>

Then in the element just loop through the items and display them in an unordered list.

So, which would be more appropriate for this functionality - an element or a helper? And why?

Thanks!
