Hi Andre - Tom is on holiday this week, so let me take a stab at this. 

"Known to be good" - I try to make sure that the tarballs on the project website are a good way to go. These are on www.yoctoproject.org/download and then click "BSP Downloads". You can also get them from a git branch, but I don't know for sure which it is.

I don't. I just create a subdirectory in my home dir and untar the release there. 

If you create and use the App Developer Tools, installing the cross tools in /opt/ is common.
