Sean, I believe I'd go with a /boot, /home, / and a swap of 256 mgs or so. I often do a 'clean' install without reformatting /home. Make the /home partition fairly large (2 gb or more if you have space)...you can put your downloaded 'goody' packages on that partition and then reinstall after you've put on the latest and greatest distro.
