There is no difference between the way you initialize it with new keyword or when you directly set the string using '='. The memory is both allocated on the heap and so garbage collector is reponsible for collecting the memory once it goes out of scope. The only differentce is 'new' calls the constructor whereas if you directly assign using = the overloaded operator gets called and it initializes a new instance of the string.
