I would create one bootable partition on the SSD drive for everything that is 
not /var and /home. Then create two on the spinning platter drive, one for /var 
and one for /home.  These two directories are written to a lot more than the 
others.  Unless you are dealing with very large files, EXT4 should be good 
enough.

Good luck,
