I think the majority of people use the Listbox for this purpose, overall it usually offers the better facilities for such a purpose.

Hey there,

you are probably better of using the Listbox because with it you have full control over every entry you make. And due to the all new string renderer you're able to do great things within such an Listbox item like: http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4322 were i asked the same question.

MultilineEdit is as far as i know just an Edit with the ability to render quite a long string. But it's just one string. So the handling will be much more difficult.
