First, I believe you mean:
this.set('foo', 1), or
this.set({ foo: 1 }) instead of
this.set('foo' => 1)
What I personally do is use "set" as much as possible. Seems more
"object-oriented" to me. If I am going to be doing LOTS of processing, then
I will assign/get properties directly because that will be faster than using
any custom javascript. I wish I had a more fundamental reason, but I suppose
to try and stick with a single convention will help and make code reusable
and maintainable.
Happy coding,
