Vendors ought to suggest installation paths for their software products.
SYS3.vendor.** seems like a good idea.  Or incorporating the vendors'
registered element prefix.

Shops ought to follow those vendor suggestions:
o It allows trying samples in the vendor documents with less tailoring
  of DD statements.
o It makes programmer skill sets more portable.  (But management
  might consider that a bad idea.)
