The README.txt says, "This directory should be used to place downloaded and custom modules
and themes which are common to all sites."

If I am running only one site off the codebase, should I still put the contrib modules here? The documentation sounds as if it applies only to a multi-site setup.

It still applies to a single-site setup. You can create a 'modules' folder in sites/all and put contributed modules there, or create a 'modules' folder in the sites/default folder.

currently we're running only one site, but we are putting all non-core modules in sites/all/modules for maintaining that clear separation between core and contrib/custom. at least for me its easier to track changes, and updates if they are separate and its not any extra work to gain the benefit.
