Phil,
Log entries are for logging your observations. People use them for other reasons, but 99% of the time it turns out that they are misusing the logs as a kludge, when the notes feature offers a much more appropriate solution. The notes even have a ratings system built in. So the answer is yes, you should be using the notes unless there is some aspect of the logs that you need but isn't available for the notes.
Create a special Attachments folder. Maybe call it "Close Approachers."
Select that folder for all of your close approaching lists on the Nightly Planner / Real Time tools.
Enable the rating and notes brief columns in the lists.
Open the Object info for a minor planet via a right-click from a list (in order to take advantage of inheriting the Attachments folder).
Enter any amount of text. You can copy/paste. Enter a brief message that will appear in a column in your list. Select a 5-star rating.
