If you want them to be available to all users, I suspect the
canonical answer would be /usr/bin. See the man page for
hier(7). Everyone has /usr/bin in his or her path.

If, however, you only want it to be available to a specific
user, put it in that user's ${HOME}/bin, then put
${HOME}/bin in their $PATH.
