I've got a single DLT7000 at home and I was running with a spool of around 7gb and it made alot of difference. Being able to push the incrementals totally to disk, then spool them off a tape speed increased my capacity on the tapes, and I also don't hear nearly as much shoe-shining when backups are running. For the DLT4000, which only holds 20gb native, I'd say 5gb would be fine. Of course if you have more space, then that's good too.
