I would argue against /usr/local though because Homebrew uses it and I'd want to avoid possible collisions, especially if someone were to e.g. install git-annex or pandoc via HB without realizing they're written in Haskell. (Yes, this happens!) Many third party packages already use /opt, e.g. /opt/haskell or /opt/haskell-platform.
