Hereby I propose some default paths which could be

that API authors lurking around here might want to recommend them and
host authors might want to use them:
LADSPA
Unix-like OSes with FHS/Unix-like filesystem layout:
/usr/lib/ladspa, /usr/local/lib/ladspa, ~/.ladspa
Windows: %PROGRAMFILES%\LADSPA, %APPDATA%\LADSPA
Mac OS X: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA, ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA
DSSI
Unix-like OSes with FHS/Unix-like filesystem layout: /usr/lib/dssi,
/usr/local/lib/dssi, ~/.dssi
Windows: %PROGRAMFILES%\DSSI, %APPDATA%\DSSI
Mac OS X: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/DSSI, ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/DSSI
LV2
Unix-like OSes with FHS/Unix-like filesystem layout: /usr/lib/lv2,
/usr/local/lib/lv2, ~/.lv2
Windows: %PROGRAMFILES%\LV2, %APPDATA%\LV2
Mac OS X: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2, ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2
Note the order matters for PATH-like variables such as these.
The LV2 discovery paths are documented here, FWIW:
