The general philosophy is just don't break anything... 8-)
I don't think there are any particular guidelines as to what
can or can not go into /lib... I took a quick look and didn't
find anything... 

Looking at the /lib/*.so in Fedora 9 there is only one out
of the 38 .so that have dependency on /usr/lib... so its
pretty clean..

I would think that former would be better than the latter...
