How have you structured your VST folders? (32bit vs 64bit)

Hi,

I'm in the process of transferring my DAW to a new rig. This will also be the first time I use Sonar in x64 mode.

So far, installation has gone fine. The only question mark I have related to 32b vs 64b VST plugins.

For 10 years, I've been accustomed to having them located under c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins.

This folder under a x64 operating system is now known as c:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VSTplugins.

That's fine. I get that. And the VSTs I'm installing seem to recognize that folder just fine during installation. However, those that can do x64 and prompt me for a location for the x64 location do not default where I thought they would... ie, c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins -- instead, they propose to install the x64 VST plugin in the company's own file space... ie, c:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt\etc.

The first plugin to do this was the Superior Drummer 2.0 VST, and that one specifically requires that the x64 VST be located at a specific location that cannot be changed and doesn't play well with others. So I thought this would be a lone exception.

But now that I'm seeing this is going to be an issue going forward with 32/64 plugins, I thought I'd ask what everyone here does so I don't regret whatever I decide to go with.

Here are the options as I see them :

1. c:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = All 32bit VST(i)s
   c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = All 64bit VST(i)s
2. c:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = 32bit Cakewalk-installed VST(i)s
   c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = 64bit Cakewalk-installed VST(i)s
   c:\Program Files (x86)\VSTplugins = All other 32bit VST(i)s
   c:\Program Files\VSTplugins = All other 64bit VST(i)s
3. c:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = 32bit Cakewalk-installed VST(i)s
   c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VSTplugins = 64bit Cakewalk-installed VST(i)s
   c:\VSTplugins\32 = All other 32bit VST(i)s
   c:\VSTplugins\64 = All other 64bit VST(i)s

Which hierarchy seems the soundest to you guys (before I commit and install 200GB worth of stuff)?

thanks.
