In a NAT environment, it is advisable to mark packets in prerouting stage. Subsequently, till the packets leaves the system , the mark will not be changed by any other process except a explicit mark iptables statement. Even if NAT changes IP address, the fw mark will still be the same allowing for classification. AFAIK, mark can have values rangign from 1 to 255.
