My personal preference would be for the Cygwin Home directory to be
created under

  %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Cygwin

That way the home directory is isolated from native windows applications
that might use the same file names but with different line endings
directly in %HOMEPATH%.

And, the data is within the user profile so that when accessed via
redirection or otherwise, the data is accessible on every machine the
user logs into.
