What is the better way to keep nodes states in graph db (Neo4J)? As another nodes, or just like properites?

Example: I have several nodes and I want them to choose if they are active or not. Should I create node Active and connect to it with relations, or should I make property status: Active in them?

What is better from performance point of view and easiness of querying?

I'd probably use an `:Active` label or less likely an `active=true` property – Michael Hunger Jan 31 '15 at 14:13
