There are some difference anyway, /usr/local is for local group access 
and /opt can  be made globally sharable,
but besides that are there any factors more important which can tell me 
which should be my dest dir when I install some program?
   

usually, I keep it the following way:

/usr/local  
 for manually configured/compiled standard applications/tools

/opt
 special programs used for particular projects, globally accesible 

Other comments?

Many thanks, it's reasonabe. And I found that /opt is in the same level 
as /usr, so it's not the same as /usr/local,
and someone even has /usr/local/opt ant I think that's reasonable too.

One should put in /usr some more "standard"-like tools and programs , 
but maybe there are no very clear rules .
