My opinion is "anywhere you want". I personally use a SS USB HDD connected directly to my pcP servers. Others use NAS, you could use a USB Stick (as you mentioned) if it is big enough for you. I did this for a friend that has a small library. I personally would avoid storing them on the same SD as pcP unless backed up (In case SD becomes corrupted). You also mention "popping the SD to transfer files". Using Samba, your pcP music storage folder(s) are accessible as a network location (from say a PC/Mac). Personally, I maintain my library on a PC, and use freefilesync to mirror the library to the HDD attached to the pi (through Samba).
