it really depends on what you need to do.  if you need to get a result set of all entities, deleted or not, consider the difference between a SELECT for all rows from a single table, easy, vs. doing a UNION from primary table to history table, matching up all the columns that hopefully do in fact match up (awkward), and then dealing with joining out to related tables if you need that as well (very awkward from a UNION).

if you have any plans to consume these rows in the app i’d advise just doing it like all the other tables.  if we want to change that approach, we’d do it en-masse at some point and you’d get it for free.
