You want to put everything you can inside the app bundel.  The goal is
to make the application self contained.  Nut if the support files are
very large or if they are shared between applications then they could
go in (from memory, so I'm likely on 100% accurate)
library/applications-support or in the user's home directory inside
folder by the same name.

On a system with multiple login accounts some data that can change for
each user such as a preferences file and an "un-do" file need to go in
the user's $home but system wide data needs to go to a system wide
place

A good example is to look at how Logic or Garage band works.  The
samples for a grand piano sound are system wide but selection of a
default tempo is for each user to select.  It's best to follow Apple's
example on this.
