Using marks is one way to do this, and provides plenty of flexibility.
However, if all the traffic is coming from the same IP address /
interface, then you should be able to use straight iproute2 rules to
match those aspects, without even touching iptables (see ip rule).

Also, if you do decide to use netfilter marks (which is certainly no bad
thing IMHO), then you probably don't need to mark connections and then
restore them. Instead just mark a packet straight away:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 10.x.x.x -j MARK --set-mark 1
