If that is a concern, another possibility would be:
Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/AUPresets

I prefer something like this to the cryptically named
folders based on the bundle ID - especially if the user
may end up needing to put things into / take things out
of the folders.
Another level of organization could be provided by
using the manufacturer (a la Logic 5.4):
Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/AUPresets/URSfx/RumblenceAU/*.aupreset
^^^^^
Many users will probably come to have a significant
number of audio units - the extra level of organization
might be appreciated in that case. This isn't a show
stopper, though.
