Hi, this is an interesting question. It depends a lot on your dataset organization workflow and how users access to the data and symbology information.
I see some scenarii outhere : - traditional file system tree. Store the styles along with the files. - all in database, where users are autonomous for storing data and styles, at the cost of having to know how to explore a database structure : you can user the layer_style table to store styles - organizations with GIS admin, we consider that average users should not have to know what a qml or a database is to be able to use QGIS. The idea here is to store all the reference layers into a few centralized QGIS projects, and wire all QGIS instances with menu_layers_from_project plugin so that a simple drop down menu will allow users to add pre-styled layers (with also metadata, forms &co) to their project in one click. This is my favourite one because we take into account also some informations that may not be stored in QML , like metadata, which are really useful. This options assumes you can pre-configure your GIS clients everywhere, and QGIS has all the admin tools you need for this.
