systemd seems to like mounting stuff on /media. However, I would consult the Linux filesystem hierarchy documents around (eg. Wikipedia and then follow the references) for the most compatible place.
/srv /mnt tend to suggest themselves. /home is for your personal stuff not shared user wide stuff.
Don't put stuff in local directories, leave it in a NAS location and mount it where you need it using fstab or auto/mount units and the appropriate filesystem. Maybe I've misunderstood something you wrote to think of this last bit.
