For this one, I usually prefer: 
        NSMutableArray *qualArray = (NSMutableArray*)[NSMutableArray array];
because:
        o we don't need to know how NSMutableArray make it's allocation and 
initialization
        o if we want to track memory leaks, it's easier to make a grep on alloc 
and check cases 
if there's not too much ones (i.e. if alloc are mainly done in objects 
constructors).
