The last one run for the system is /etc/rc.d/rc.local for many distributions, but not for debian.
If you want them run for a specific user at login, put them in .bashrc or similar in the user's home dir. If you want them run for all users at login then /etc/profile or similar.

just
/etc/rc.local
since it is a sym link to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
you can even have it run the script as another which is best practices
entry

su username -c /path/to/script
