What are some best practices in mounting NAS shares that you all follow?

Currently I am mounting using fstab to my user’s home directory with full rwx permissions, but that feels wrong.

I’ve read to use the mnt directory or the media directory but opinions differ.

My main concern is I want to protect against inadvertently deleting the contents of the NAS with an errant rm command. And yes I have backups of my NAS too.

Edit: this is a home NAS with 1 user on this Linux PC (the other clients being windows and Mac systems)

Would love to hear everyone’s philosophy! Thanks!

    #cat /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount
[Unit]
Description=nfs mount script

[Mount]
What=192.168.0.30:/mnt/tank/Media
Where=/mnt/data
Type=nfs4

[Install]
WantedBy=remote-fs.target

    The file name has to match the folder upon which the share is mounted with hypens instead of forward slashes
