A 5GB OSX partition has worked OK for me for the past year. I have a lot of programs, including OfficeX and Photoshop Elements, and still have 2GB of space left. Perhaps it helps that there is no OS9 on my OSX partition - for Classic I use what is on the OS9 partition. My setup is OSX 5GB, OS9 5GB, Data 5GB and Photos & Music 25 GB.
