Personally I tend to work with $GALAXY/tool-data/*.loc (and ignore the tool shed installed copies in their cryptically named folders) but this reflects in part the fact that this used to be the only copy of the file, and that's just what I always did.
If you use a data manager, I don't know which copy it updates - but the merging design is meant to hide these details I suppose.
