String constants and how to do them

I forget where I read this (perhaps it was Aaron Hillegass's book, but
I forget), but I read somewhere that in general it's a better idea to
use global strings set to a constant string rather than using #define,
as in

NSString *myPref = @"My Preference";

instead of

#define myPref @"My Preference"

Is there a reason for this? Is this even true? What do you guys use?
