If things get tight, rebuilding the column might push you over the edge.

I am RDB
If it is built from data, don't store the answer you just use in a report.

but... Developers please correct me:

A 'built from' column is NOT stored in the DB, but recalculated every Time for the GUI.
If this is true, storing the result might be the lesser of the evils.
( Static data: Use the metadata S&R to calculate and Store the result in a Plain column. rebuild those, when needed )
