Which one to use is always somewhat of a judgement call, but CONFIG seems more suitable here since whether to start an application or not is ultimately a decision that the user or system administrator has control over. As such it belongs in CONFIG. DATA on the other hand is aimed at resources that are required for the correct execution of applications.
