If the area/way can be mapped as an OSM simple single way then do that.

When the area shares ways (boundaries or sections of ways) with other 
objects then those shared ways become members of the OSM relation that 
forms the area.
This sharing reduces the quantity of OSM data and makes any edition of 
the shared boundary effect both (or in some cases more than 2, I have 
come across one with 5) areas.
