It basically comes down to user preference and the type of data. For
that much data though, served via NFS, I would probably mount the data
under /export. This is only personal opinion, and I could very well be
trashing some time honored UNIX tradition. So I would also suggest
picking up "UNIX System Administration" from O'Reilly.

You can, of course, change the mount point in the future. You are not
stuck with only one option.
