I keep going back and forth on this. Why don't we start with it on the 
right and get some usability experience?

No, this doesn't go in login. Keep in mind people might "log in" via a 
deep link, or by reauthenticating when their session expires, in which 
case they should be sent to the appropriate deep link/page. A better 
approach is for the beforeFilter() in the appropriate controller to do 
the check and issue the redirect if needed.

ie: If I go to /registry, I either get a CO chooser menu (or just some 
text that says to pick from the menubar) or I get redirected to the 
appropriate landing page. If I visit this page 10 times in a session, I 
should get the same behavior, even if I logged in just once.

I think this might need to go in PagesController. See also 
View/Pages/home.ctp.
