I think the default PATH is set in "/etc/environment". But you can
change it for individual users in "$HOME/.bashrc". I would suggest to
use this option because the other file might be replaced by updates. And
what is more important: The default is probably used for root as well
and if you add your scripts directory, you might make root excute one of
your scripts. That is probably not what you want. With visudo you would
edit the sudoers file which has a totally different purpose.
