Thank you for the response, I have to tell you that there has been much personal debate about this also. I have come to the realization that I will have a folder located within the Applications suites folder with users information in it. Much like the way Shared Applications or whatever is located in Microsoft Office's Application folder. Maybe even a dmg with 128AES encryption.
This way the files aren't deleted if the operating system is halted or interrupts.

If you need write access to this folder, your application's folder is not likely the best place to put it. The Applications folder is not one of those places that you can assume that you can write to, and it's not reasonable to expect the user to change access for you if you can't write there.

Better is to have the folder in your application folder (or bundle, even better) and then copy it to "Application Support" when you first run after install and use what's in there.

Vision in white steps through the door,
Holds out her hand, I say 'No I'm not ready'
I open my eyes and let the dream fade away.
