Is there a reason to store, let’s say, about a thousand strings with a SQLite database over a NSArray saved with NSUserDefaults? What is the advantage to having a database? Thanks for your help!

Storing 1000 strings in NSUserDefaults as an array is no big deal. One advantage that using SQL Lite will give you is the ability to index your collection for fast searches. And of course that benefit just keeps on growing as your data collection increases in size.
