As a general guideline, if the function you are writing is designed to be called by all models (or most models: it'll be called for all models and you can immediately return for those types you don't care about), use a signal handler. If it's only called from one, or a few, models, call it from the respective save() methods. As a practical matter, bear in mind that you cannot, for example, add many-to-many objects to a new instance until you have called Model.save(), so if you're trying to do that in your save() method, remember to call the superclass save() before adding many-to-many related objects.
