 Interesting. 
 So is there a generalized best practice?

Generally, to prefer Obj-C objects where possible. There isn’t much that can be 
done for things without Obj-C equivalents (like CoreGraphics for example).

 __attribute__((NSObject)) is not recommended, as it doesn’t necessarily 
 cause the behavior you want in all cases. Basically the attribute can get 
 disassociated from the underlying type, and thus “lose” the NSObject-ness, 
 causing the handling you desire to be lost.

 What do people do about properties that are CF type objects (both ARC and 
 non-ARC)? Typically I want these retained, but that doesn't work, at least 
 in non-ARC code, because CF types aren't recognised as being retainable. 
 So I declare them as 'assign' but usually leave a comment that it's really 
 copied, CFRetain'd, etc. (and of course I have to write the setter methods 
 myself to make that true). Is that my only option? It would be nice if 
 this were better supported.
