Best location to keep SSL certificates and private keys on Ubuntu servers?

The .crt file is sent to everything that connects; it is public. (chown root:root and chmod 644)

To add to the private key location; make sure you secure it properly as well as having it in there. (chown root:ssl-cert and chmod 640)
