I don't think there is a 'correct' answer to this, it depends entirely on your specific application. Generally if you put something in what seems intuitively to you to be the right place you will not go far wrong. Also make sure you write good automated tests so you can easily re-factor when you realise you did not get it right the first time, so you can move stuff about secure in the knowledge that you have probably not broken anything.
