Is the data being stored customer facing or internal to the machine?

That's the rule of thumb I see applied to what goes in /srv. In a LAMP
box for example I'd expect to see the website(and site logs), database
files, and POP3/IMAP spools stored in srv directories. Machine
specific data like system logs and email processing spools get stored
in /var.
