You should probably just be using Handle<> in most of your function parameters. The only reason to specify Local<> or Persistent<> instead of the more generic superclass Handle<> is when you need to manage the lifetime of the object. It's generally not the callee's job to manage the memory of the underlying handle, so it doesn't need to know if a given handle is local or persistent.
If it's async you should still probably use Handle<> for the argument, but then you can create your own persistent reference to it via Persistent<>::New(handle).
