Consider the following Org file, which is used to generate an Agenda:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Write the big report
DEADLINE: <2015-05-26 Tue 12:00>
* Write the small report
DEADLINE: <2015-06-02 Tue 12:00>
* Plan the draft proposal
SCHEDULED: <2015-05-28 Thu 09:00>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Where is the best place to store the actual text of the reports and
proposals? Should it be stored under each heading? Or in a drawer? Or linked?
I call the Agenda and see entries for the day, and then scroll to one and
press <Tab> to jump to it. This would be a good place to store the text?

For me the answer depends on the size of the text, and how you generate
the final report. I would probably make a link like [[./big-report.org]]
in the first section. That would make it pretty easy to have a
standalone document with headlines at whatever level is appropriate that
can be exported in the desired format.

I almost always end up putting the text directly under the headline, and
then doing a subtree export. As John notes, though, if you've got a
particularly complex document it might feel cleaned to put it in a
separate file. On the other hand, I suspect there's nothing you can do
with a separate file that you can't do with subtree properties/export
options.
From the point of view of reaching the text from the Agenda, I doubt
there's much difference -- just the matter of an extra RET if you are
following a link to a separate file.
