Besides, it would make much more efficient queries.

Yeah, you can do it either way. Still need to query on the parent forum to see if there are any unread children forums within it though. My rather unweildy code block for "lightbulb" does that, but it can probably be compressed down to one SQL statement instead of multiple.
