Depending on what you are wanting the final outcome to be kind of dictates what you want to use.
Generally speaking the way i look at it is
beforeSubmit: If the Journal absolutely has to be created when the DA is created or else the DA is invalid. That way they DA doesn't get committed to the database if something errors out or doesnt work.
afterSubmit: Proabably the best bet. You want to most likely make sure all the user input is saved and committed to the DB first. Then create your journal
