Efficient in what way? Searching? Iterating? Sorting? Inserting? Note that `List` can contain duplicates, `Hashset` can't. – D Stanley May 29 '15 at 13:47

Why don't you test for yourself what's better in your use case? [Eric Lippert on performance measuring](http://ericlippert.com/2012/12/17/performance-rant/) – germi May 29 '15 at 13:48

Thanks for the feedback. Basically I am trying to implement path planning algorithm and I want this for storing the information about the nodes. – Tesfaye Asmera May 29 '15 at 13:58
