mnesia bags vs sets containing lists

Assuming I wanted to store some simple data structures in mnesia, of the
form:
{Key, [A, B, C, D, E, ...]}.
in which I don't care about the ordering of the list.
What would be the advantages/disadvantages of storing it using:
a) a table of type set, storing/retrieving the whole list at once, and
operating on the list to get specific elements
b) a table of type bag, storing/retrieving individual values using mnesia
I'm just trying to get a feel for the differences in the above two
implementations, rather than having any concrete use in mind.
Thanks,
