Is there a way to configure squid to choose more intelligently which
cache directory to cache the content depending on the content?

Please define "more intelligently".
The order of cache_dir in squid.conf, their available free space,
configurable min/max object size limits, and 'load' (aka current I/O
speed where available) are all considered when selecting a dir. The big
limitation is that some dir types (ie UFS and diskd) are not able to
feed certain details like I/O waiting times into the load balancing.
