There's also the issue of mounting /tmp noexec and nosuid on a separate filesystem that many people choose. Location of per-user tmp filesystem would also be impacted by that. At first sight, the best option from that point of view seems to be a per-user tmp under /tmp/$USER/ and mount /tmp noexec, nosuid. If you choose the ~$USER/tmp option, you'll probably have to do some userfs jugglery to achieve the same objective.
