I don't know if it's recommended practice or not, but I customise $BaseDirectory/Kernel/init.m with appropriate Needs[] and SetOptions[] for various commands. All customisation goes before the Begin["System`Private`"] context. An alternate method is using the Autoload facility but you'll have to read the documentation for this.
