The class documentation for NSAutoreleasePool notes that release is a no-op on garbage-collected environments, and one should use drain to give the garbage collector a hint to do its job (that's my limited understanding). It notes that drains behaves the same as release in a memory managed environment, so it's safe to use in both circumstances.
Basically, if there's a chance your code might be garbage-collected, use drain. As for new, not sure...
