A class variable exists once per image. A class instance variable  
exists once per subclass.

If your singleton class has no subclasses, it doesn't matter. If it  
has subclasses, then each subclass will have a different singleton if  
you use a class instance variable. With a class variable, you only  
have one singleton for all subclasses.
