There are more things to this.

I typically have customers with lots of small one-off Plone sites 
running on different versions of zope/plone.

2-5 versions of python is not uncommon on these servers.

For that reason I typically use a structure of:

/home/zope/pythons
/home/zope/zopes
/home/zope/instances

That way I can have many pythons and zope versions on the same server 
without problems, and looking in /home/zope gives me a good idea of what 
is installed.
