Either way is acceptable.  I would say "do what is easiest".  In your
case, since you are just storing a handful of string values, I would use
the metadata system.

As for your other questions, I recommend using the debug logging system to
ensure that read_file() is being called and is setting variables to their
correct stored values.  If that is working, then the problem is elsewhere
in your code (and hence is specific to the IRC activity).
