You are going to get a lot of different opinions as to what's "best".
My suggestion to you would be to determine what your needs are within your environment (as in what's in your new box, how extensive/mission critical your in-house apps are) before making a decision.
How extensive are these in-house applications? Something small that requires little hard drive space, it's easy to re-install, and has no data that needs to be backed up can go in /usr/local/bin. If you are talking about something like Oracle, or Netcool, or Suitespot, i.e., applications that require lots of hard drive space, need to be backed up, etc, you'd want to put those in their own slice (or disk, depending on what you have). Whether is off / or /usr/ or whenever, it doesn't matter as long as they are in their own slice/disk; technically, they wouldn't be off any of those directories. Ex: /opt can sit in /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6, and have /opt/netcool sit on /dev/dsk/c2t3d1s4. If you issue an ls command, it'd seem that netcool is off /opt, but if you issue a df command, you'll find out it isn't.
