20 will be plenty for everything.

In fact, I recommend the following:

20 GB /home (and mount this on all three distributions so you can have the
same files everywhere)
10 GB / for Fedora
8 GB  / for Debian
15 GB / for Gentoo

Swap space as needed, and a small (50 meg or so) /boot partition that's
mounted by all three distributions.  Gentoo needs more space because you're
going to be compiling almost everything from the source code.
