I would recommend you put all repositories in one central location
reserved for that purpose. Personally I have all my repositories in
$HOME/subversion/repositories. Having them all in one place makes it
easy to serve the repositories using svnserve or http, and makes for
simple backup scripts; you can simply iterate over all repositories.

Your working copies on the other hand can go wherever you need them.
