I for one do all changes I need (like timezone, memory, upload size, etc)
in /etc/php.ini or its equivalent (on FreeBSD it will be
/usr/local/etc/php.ini). Package managers are smart to not overwrite (or
delete when package is uninstalled) configuration files. I'm sure config
files in php.d  are read after /etc/php.ini so they have "final word" on
what some variable will be. Making habit to put things there is good in
respect you will check/edit in place that will be overriding other places
like /etc/php.ini. As I am one sysadmin in the team, I prefer slight
convenience (or indulge my laziness) of doing it /etc/php.ini. So, it
basically can be just your own habit.

Just my $0.02
