I would prefer thread based solution over user based solution because it is easier to maintain... Operations are done only on that one field while on user approach every time you update a thread (read/noread/delete) you would have to update each user record..

I don't understand this bit. Any record of the state of a user's position in a thread has to include a unique identifier for the user, and the thread, as well as the position (time OR message number) in that thread.
Could you explain your take on the user-centric versus the thread-centric approach in more detail?
