Master, Tempdb, Msdb, Model?

I am looking for an opinion here...
What do most people do about these databases, leave the data & log file on the same drive
-or-
Move the log files to a separate drive?
I have the info on how to move the log files, and I do place my user database & logs on separate drives, but I am not sure of what a "best practice" is for the Sql system databases.
Any opinions are appreciated!
I would put the temp DB on a seperate drive as well

This can be a high-activity database, so same reasoning goes for tempdb as for other databases.
Also, moving database files for system databases is a bit special, so read KB 224071.
