What is a recommended directory for creating a database with a specified path?

Dilorom

I was going through Data Engineering with Databricks training, and in DE 3.3L - Databases, Tables & Views Lab section, it says "Defining database directories for groups of users can greatly reduce the chances of accidental data exfiltration." I agree with it, and want to specify a path for my database, but not sure what directory is ideal to provide as a path. Under DBFS, what directory would be the best to create my database? Any best practices or recommendations around this?

With Unity Catalo, if it's managed location you can define the location of where to store the catalog or the Database or the table. ( Needs to be a Delta table ofc)
