[TYPO3-dev] best practice for large forms?

hi,

i'm looking for a "best practice" approach to the following problem:

- i have a set of 16 paper-forms (16 aspects of accessibility info).
- the forms consist of 5 to 25 input fields
- many fields belong together, should be grouped visually and maybe 
logically (hasfeature: no/yes, if yes ...)

so far i see several possible ways to go:

- a plugin with flexform: creating a 16-tab flexform, using the 
predefined pi_flexform-column
relatively easy to setup, no database bloat ... but
i find no way of arranging the fields in panels/groups

- a plugin using divider2tabs: creating a form with --div-- tabs
mid-complicated setup, good arranging of fields ... but
another db-table with lots of columns

- using templavoila with fce's:
interactive setup, using single db-field but
lots of config work/templates, "strange" integration

what do you think?
any way to arrange the flexforms? avoid a new table with divider2tabs?

please advise ...

markus
