Shared storage required for snapshot control file in 11.2.0.2 RAC - RMAN

Can anyone recommend the preferred shared storage type for these files?

I just found out about the new behavior when creating snapshot control
files. In 11.2.0.2 all nodes must be able to write to the snapshot
control file. I have temporarily moved the location of this file to an
ASM Cluster File system. I am getting a shared NFS mount for the long
term location. I am not convinced that either of these alternatives is
the best.

By the way -  I found out that I could not change the RMAN setting
when I was connected to the catalog. When I connected only to the
target the RMAN "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO " command
worked correctly.

The new behavior is described in metalink bulletin 1268725.1.
