North Africa, should i core or trade company them?

Playing aragon and not sure which is the best way to go about it.

I have claims thanks to a mission and not sure of making them trade company's has an impact on further missions.

I generally put North Africa into trade companies once I have taken gotten the precious papal authority from them. Generally North Africa doesn't have very good land to develop and you will find more use out of accepting Italian cultures, or Iberian ones if you decide to culture shift to Sicilean to form Italy instead.

Trade company! Always trade company!

For most missions it does not makes any difference whether a province is a Full Core, a Territorial Core, a Territorial Core in a State or a Territorial Core in a Trade Company.
(I think there are missions like e.g. "have Trade Company Investment X in province Y which of course require a TC.)
And for some missions even owning a province is enough, no need for a core.

Lategame TCing provinces is nearly always better than Stating.
Earlygame there can be situations where you may want to State TC-able provinces for Forcelimit, Manpower, Tax Income, ... (TC province have an Autonomy Floor of 90% so contribute nearly nothing to that).

You can state and accept moroccan culture for early power boost (mainly man power) its decent and you wont have any other cultures anyway unless you early hard deep dive italy or france, everything else should be TC.
So my basic rule is state everything in my current super-region (can't TC there anyway), states on some big, rich and easy to dev cultures that i accept and TC everything else.
