Is it recommended to use Self Tracking Entities with WCF services?

Question

I want to know if using Self Tacking Entities (in Entity Framework) is recommended with WCF services? If yes, then can you guide me to a tutorial which may guide how to do t

Create your own DTOs and use them to manage the transfer of data - then biuold your POCO objects in the service and use them with entity framework for persistence

If you want self tracking then there is a slightly cleaner approach here
