There's lots of variations on this - as per usual Unix descended systems 
have a million
ways to skin a cat.

Personally I prefer everything users side to be in one place so I put it 
all in /home. I even
move mysql databases and such to there so I know that:
/etc - is all my configuration
/home - is all my data
/ - is installation stuff

If you have a lot of servers then it helps keep things straight. Besides 
I try and use an old
smaller drive as a system drive and a new huge one as /home. If the box 
dies all you have
to do is grab /home and stick it in another box without worrying what 
you've left behind in
/opt or /var or /srv
