I keep my "Downloads" folder in my user folder, That way all my stuff 
is in one place.

With regard to the original post, I would save all files and projects 
within your user folder that was created in OS X. Its available to both 
OS's and avoids most permissions type messes. You can add/delete 
folders to organize it pretty much any way you want (as I said, I added 
a "Downloads" folder in mine  as well as making other changes).

As a shortcut, some of the people I know who have to use both OS's, 
keep an alias of their user folder on their OS 9 desktop and in their 
Favorites list to make it easily accessible.
