What format should rows of data be in when passed from a Model back to a Controller?

The choice between and ArrayObject and Array is made in the model usually, choosing either $query->result() for an ArrayObject or $query->result_array() for an Array. Then just simply return either to your controller and it'll work like a charm.

Basic rule of thumb for what happens where is:

Controller handles incoming information and calls models and views
Model processes the input for output
View outputs the data, generally a UI
