Sizing the staging directory really depends on the rate of replication. Is the majority of data dynamic or static? To give you an example, we host user home directories and terminal service roaming profiles on a group of DFS servers. The primay target server for each site is allocated 600GB for data. The staging directories, located on separate disks, are allocated 300GB. Free space on the Staging partitions is hovering around 50-60GB, so in our case, the staging partition was accurately sized at about 50% of the data partition. YMMV.
