One thing to add is that if your property is a type of object for which there exists a mutable variant — NSString, NSArray, etc. — then you should use copy instead of retain/strong. For immutable objects, this will just do a retain anyway, so no harm no foul, but if someone passes, say, an NSMutableString to your property, you’d want to make an immutable copy of it so that the value wouldn’t change under your feet.
