I'd say you can put whichever -or none- just take into account the 
external hard disk can be slower than your internal hdd and will have to 
be powered on and mounted (accesible) when you run the system.

As a norm, I prefer to store plain data (no applications) on external USB 
drives (if it has an external power supply, remember to be properly 
protected for blackouts).
