First off, please read the FAQ. Secondly, there is no difference, permission wise, between setting up a directory below / and below /usr/local. Both are by default owned by root; in fact /usr/local is in group wheel and / in group admin, so /usr/local has initially more restrictive access rights! But the directory below them can have any acces rights, so this point is moot.
Note that any admin account on your box can automatically write into /, without even using sudo or su.
