The net.wisdom seems to be to put as many of your "permanent" redirects into one of the *.conf files, rather than in any .htaccess. If that's not an option, then one .htaccess as close to where the original files were would probably be best.apache looks in every directory on the URL path (unless you tell it not to) for an .htaccess file, and parses it, etc.
So -- it would boil down to frequency -- you certainly don't want a root-level .htaccess being parsed all the time if it's not necessary.
(Unless something's changed recently, it ignores the mod dates and does no cacheing of the .htaccess information.)
