will that memory get de-allocated after completion of unit test?

"It is simply false that the choice of whether to use the stack or the heap has anything fundamentally to do with the type of the thing being stored. The truth is: the choice of allocation mechanism has to do only with the known required lifetime of the storage."

the .NET String class is a reference type, correct?

No, it's a value type.

it's easier to think of string as a value type, even though it isn't

You could check the type in a single method and route it to one of two private methods?

private int ProcessInstance<T>(T instance)

    return 1;

private int ProcessCollection(IEnumerable collection)
