Best Programming Practice?

I am writing an application to run on TS/Citrix. Is it better practice to store a file containing user-specific application parameters/settings somewhere under the user's home directory (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%) or under the user's application data directory (%APPDATA%)? I need to support load-balanced user sessions so I need to put this information in a location where it will be universally available. I understand that the home directory is often mapped from a network location but I don't know if this is also true of the application data directory. Thanks.
