I 've custom systemd service file. Which is the recommended directory?

What is the difference between them?

Put it in /etc/systemd/system/.

If you have:

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then a link will be placed in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants when you:

# systemctl enable myservice.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/myservice.service → /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service.

systemd only uses the links in multi-user.target.wants/ to know which units to raise when multi-user.target is raised.
