where to install data? (boinc)

I need some advice involving installation locations...
I've pretty much have boinc ported over, but I want to make sure I'm doing
the right thing with the default installation location.
Currently I have boinc installed into /var/db/boinc to be consistant with
where setiathome puts its data files (I think I can see the reasoning on
why /var would be a good place). If you tweak PREFIX you can have boinc be
installed somewhere else. Also, there is an rcNG script I have written,
which by default gets installed into ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rc.d/ (also
tweakable).
All the other boinc data lives in /var/db/boinc (so setiathome, or
seti_boinc as I should probably call it, gets installed to
/var/db/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu).
Should I continue to have it install to the /var partition, or not mess
with PREFIX and have the default be ${LOCALBASE}?
