I put that in OF with a due date, since it's a task that can be worked on prior to the due date.
iCal appointments are "hard" events - they happen on a particular day/time. For tasks which can be worked on at any time (beginning on a start date, if that is appropriate), they go in OF.
The general rule of thumb that I use is - tasks are things that need doing, I can do them in the appropriate context, and if I can't finish them, or don't have time today, I can put them off until tomorrow, etc. Some tasks do have an "ending" date, so I add a due date. Some tasks can't be started until some date in the future; I put a start date on these.
