I'd suggest that you put them on separate volumes, that is necessary to implement quotas that are useful.
In the past I always mapped a files share on each file server that had shared data, then used ACLs to allow or deny access. That way if Jim moves from Accounting to IT (Yeah Right!) all you have to do is make him a member of the new groups, log out/back in, and presto, no changes to what is mapped to what drive letter. My approach may mean that you have more drives mapped on each client, but it's the same for all users. That's a good thing for most users, KISS. I have a doc that I wrote that outlines the accompanying ACLs, Local and Global groups, if you want it just send a note to me offline.
