Another possibility:

If your common code needs state and you want to share the behavior amongst controllers, you could put it in a plain old ruby class in either your model or lib directory. Remember that model classes don't have to be persistent even though all ActiveRecord classes are persistent. In other words, it's acceptable to have transient model classes.
