Storing settings for a service application

Question

I created a custom service application which needs to store some settings. I've been able to create a manage.aspx management page which is usable in Central Admin. But what I don't know is where I should store the actual settings. Where do the default services store theirs?

Basically, a field marked by [Persisted] is enough.
