Using Gforms with plugins that saved data to db

    I love Gforms. I've solved most of my original challenges.

    I'd like to use Gforms to for all my custom wp and buddypress forms,

    User registration - customized to create different user types
    Login

    Also, I'm building a couple of buddypress plugins that allow a user to create "spaces" that have different characteristics based on user form entries.

    I'm trying to decide if Gforms is the right tool for this given that duplication of Gforms saving the info in the database AND my plugin needing to save the information (and derivatives of the information) in separate tables to work with the plugin.

    Could I use GForm hooks/filters to extract the data from the forms to load into my separate tables? How would I deal with the duplication issue? What criteria should I use to determine whether to use Gforms or hard code it.
