Navigation & table of contents challenges

I’m developing a site that will require suckerfish dropdowns (or something similar), as well as a table of contents. It will have six sections, each with 0-15 static articles/subpages. Each section should always show all articles within it by default, with the option to limit and sort. I’ve been trying to find a non-plugin solution for this output:

(all items link to either section or article permlink)

<ul>
    <li>Section 1</li>
    <li>Section 2 
        <ul>
            <li>Section 2 - Article 1</li> 
            <li>Section 2 - Article 2</li> 
            <li>Section 2 - Article 3</li> 
            <li>Section 2 - Article 4</li> 
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Section 3 
        <ul>
            <li>Section 3 - Article 1</li> 
            <li>Section 3 - Article 2</li> 
        </ul>
    </li>

    [ --- etc --- ]

</ul>

ALSO: (in this method, I may want the option to wrap each h4/ul pair with a classed div for formatting)

<h4>Section 1</h4>
<h4>Section 2</h4>
<ul>
    <li>Section 2 - Article 1</li> 
    <li>Section 2 - Article 2</li> 
    <li>Section 2 - Article 3</li> 
    <li>Section 2 - Article 4</li> 
</ul>
<h4>Section 3</h4>
<ul>
    <li>Section 3 - Article 1</li> 
    <li>Section 3 - Article 2</li> 
    <li>Section 3 - Article 3</li> 
    <li>Section 3 - Article 4</li> 
</ul>

[ --- etc --- ]

I’ve not really searched too deep in the forums, but have attempted numerous unsuccessful things with article_custom and if_different. Anyone got any tips?
