As a machine-handled file, it's place is in /var. Whereas alias given names explicitely chosen by an admin, put in the multipath config file ... in /etc. Different role, different location. Just choose whatever fits your need best. Cluster users tend to prefer controlling names across nodes, others may prefer auto-assigned friendly names.
