There should be a readme in the zip that says. Some mods are made to replace the base files in the game's Data folder, while others use the modding functionality included in the game since 1.2, in which case they go in the Mods folder. Both folders are found under the game exe's location, which is C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 be default.

If you download ship designs or logos, those will go in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Ships or My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2\Logos.

Do the DL and DA mods go in the same directory?

For example, if I change the planetimprovements.xml file.

When you first install, DA may try to share the same folder, but this can be problematic. I'd suggest hitting the Change Folder button in the options and clicking the Default button at the bottom of that popup, which should jog it into creating its own mods folder structure separate from DL's.
