You should consider that pattern for every class for which a mutable version exists that is a subclass of the non-mutable base class (because only in that case could someone assign a mutable object to your un-mutable property), and which implements NSCopying. For Foundation and other Apple classes that considering should lead to using copy. For other frameworks you should probably look at their code to make sure they work the same way as Apple's. If they don’t use the retain optimization, you’ll want to verify that it performs within your constraints (by profiling) and if they don’t, maybe add this optimization.
