Partition to your taste - and according to the number / size of files.
For example I use
mallet@mjollnir:/etc> df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 396623 104846 271296 28% /
/dev/hda7 2087180 494468 1486688 25% /home
/dev/hda5 1517920 844264 596548 59% /usr
Advantage being that if you have to upgrade your linux (for example) then your
data files are safe in another partition. Lots more advantages as well.
