Well, it really depends on your needs.  You can use separate tables, but 
then aggregation requires doing it in the application or using a UNION in 
SQL.

You can always use a single comments table that both A and B reference, but 
this would allow rows from both A and B to reference the same comment.

To provide more help you'd probably have to be more specific, by posting 
your proposed schema and exactly what types of associations you want.

Thanks,
