If you want to process them, loading them into String means you're going
to have to write all the code to step to the next character and what not
yourself. Of course, UTF-8 is designed to make a lot of processing easy.
I've never really written a text handling program in Ada. The programs
I've written treat messages as opaque blocks to be handed to gettext, in
which case String is the way to go.
