I think it all depends on how those classes are written. If they
are tied directly to your application, then I would place them
under application/models. I do this with my custom auth adapter
that implements Zend_Auth_Adapter_Interface.
But if you write your code to be configurable so that it could be
reused in more projects, then it should go in library/Company.
For example, a custom Auth Storage class could be reused by other
applications, while your custom ACL may be tied directly to the
business rules of your app.

OK, that makes sense. The only thing I have a question about is:

Putting action helpers in application/controllers/helper
makes perfect sense. But what about things like a custom Acl
class, or a custom Auth adapter or Auth storage class? Maybe
those don't make sense in the library directory, but are
there any standard places to put that stuff?

In 1.10, we put in infrastructure for naming the default
module and
thus prefixing resources from that module. We'd
originally recommended
"Default_", but felt this led to some confusion and
potential issues:
* Modules are prefixed using the module name, which is
the name of
their parent directory. But the "default" module is
named after...
what? its parent directory is "application"...
* Typically, the resources in your default module are
meant to be used
"application"-wide, not just by that module.
"Application" is thus a
better name.
The change we made is completely backwards compatible, as
all that
really changed is that Zend_Tool now creates a
configuration entry that
sets the prefix for you.
As for having a "library/Application" directory, I'm not
familiar with
this practice, believe it or not.

I'd typically put action helpers under
application/controllers/helpers
(which is noted in our recommended directory structure as
well). I
usually use library/ only for code I want to re-use
between _projects_.
