I tend to put them in my zshrc alongside the function definitions:

f() { echo $1 $2 }
_f() { _arguments "1:foo" "2:bar" }
compdef _f f

It's convenient since they tend to change in lockstep.

Or one could use the XDG envvars / default paths:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

And for system-wise completions there's the site-functions dir, part of the default $fpath.

Cheers,

Daniel
