I have always found it to be a good idea to do what the OS wants. Many OSes now are set up to run bind in a chroot jail (a good thing), but this requires a specific directory structure. If your OS has already set that up (and if the startup scripts work with that structure), then it's best to keep them that way. Probably the ideal thing to do is use the OS defaults and then symlink your previous directory structure to the OS defaults as necessary to maintain compatibility with your in-house scripts and processes.
