Alternatively I could do the for/next loop only once, at init, load the value into a array and just query that array, making the loop remarkably smaller and thus quicker. Obviously this array should be updated on the moment the property's value is changed but that is easy enough handled with an extra property on the object.

Property in the form and Object Hierarchy ?
The property is in the form, not in the child objects.
But if you meant property of some child object. I should ask: What if you have two (or more) instances of that class in the form? Which property is "better"?
