Personally I heavely disagree with /usr/local/bin because I really
dislike putting everything into one directory..
(or even when it's /usr/local/bin/aztec, ack!)
Fortunately, my own /usr/local/bin is completely empty so it wouldn't
be that worse for me (but I still dislike it)
I guess it all depends on what Phillip, Xander and Vincent would like
to..
