I vote for org.ldraw.plist because it's short and simple. However I could probably be convinced to go for org.ldraw.ldrawconfig.plist because it's like com.apple.internetconfig.plist, or maybe org.ldraw.apps.plist, but not the one with mac in it. To (...)

(...) No, Apple doesn't encourage that. And you are right, it shouldn't be named org.ldraw.ldrawdir.plist. Most preferences for a single application are stored in a single file.
