I would make the choice (asset accounts or liability accounts) depending 
on whether they usually paid you their share in advance or usually 
reimbursed you afterwards. Then on rare times when the other way around, 
the transactions "contra". But if the arrangement is new you won't have 
that history.

Note that even if you started one way, you can easily enough change this 
around later if their behavior changes.
