Lists verses Forms for Branching LO Repository

Hi there, I'm new to this community and wanted to tap into the expertise here. We are creating a repository for our faculty to share applied learning applications across the disciplines within our organization. Faculty will submit their work to share based on core themes (currently built as lists to allow filtering/grouping functionality within each). We would like to add unique branching logic into each form as submissions will vary depending on learning application type (among other things). Can you do branching in lists or should we be building out these in MS Forms (which seems way easier). What is the best solution? We want to be able to take advantage of the functionality of lists but also branch easily. Welcome your suggestions!  Thanks.
