Setting Ownership on a Custom Entity

Question
-
I am creating a new entity that will have an 1:N relationship with the Contact Entity.
Ownership for Contacts is set to "User or Team". My question is how should I choose to set the new entity ownership?
If I set it to "User or Team" what happens to the ownership of the related entity records when a contact is re-assigned?
Do the records in the related table automatically get re-assigned? For example user 1 is assigned ownership of contact 1 and creates records in the related entity. Later on Contact 1 gets re-assigned to user 2. Can user 2 see the records in the related entity for contact1?
Would it be better to set ownership to organization?
Thank you in advance for taking time to reply.

if you set the ownership to organisation you cannot assign to any one (for organisation there is two access level organisation and none)
please check the entity behaviour may be you achieve

Hi Mrs. Grlynn,
Here's a link explaining the obvious difference between the two
http://rajeevpentyala.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/entity-ownership-in-crm-2011/
In my experience, I usually set ownership to user or a Team mainly because of my clients requirement to set security roles permissions (none,user,business unit, Parent:child business unit, organisation, ) to that entity, if u choose it as organisation then your just limited to security level permission to none or organization.
Kindly mark as proposed answer if i answered your question, or vote as helpful if i helped in any way
Thanks and Regards,

Thank you for the reply, the links explain very nicely what happens to related records when the "parent" record is re-assigned.
