For a lot of reasons, for the past 7-8 years, I've had a drive called simply "Render" drive, and on it is everything I've rendered out. Once rendered, the files get copied over to other delivery drives. We never, ever, ever render anything -- not even a short piece -- back to the original drive. It goes to the Render drive first, then gets copied back to the project with a revised file name.
The possible exception are stills, and I have a file folder just for Still/Graphic images for each project, just in case we need them. Those are divided up by timeline so there's no risk of overwriting files with similar names.
