Oracle Replication using Triggers

I am trying to figure out a replication problem using Oracle triggers. We are using Oracle 7.3.
The trigger is an AFTER DELETE trigger that INSERTS data into one table locally,i.e. on the same server, at a row level. Which means we are using the "for each row" option. My question is, if you are going to replicate would it be better to do a BEFORE DELETE. This, to me, means that you are replicating data BEFORE you commit to a delete. Is seems risky to commit to a DELETE after you want to replicate data to another table. I'm not very experience with triggers, so I am hoping someone with more experience can answer my question or confirm my theory. Thanks for any help.
