I was taught /usr/local/bin

/opt is for standalone packages, so if it’s a single file, no.

/bin is only for stuff needed on single user mode, so probably not (unless that’s what the binary is for.

/usr/bin is going to typically contain files installed by your package manager and should probably be left unaltered by human hands.

The deps I would assume /usr/local/lib but it hasn’t ever come up for me.

Fun fact: Debian is working towards[1] and Arch already has merged / and /usr. /bin is a soft link to /usr/bin and similarly with sbin and lib.
