This is a bit like asking "What religion should I join", or "What's the worst
Microsoft product." or some such. Given 300 responses, you'll probably get
300 slightly different answers.
That said, especially if you're fairly new to Linux, I'd suggest the following:
/dev/hda1 <everything else> /
/dev/hda2 200Mb /home
/dev/hda3 64Mb swap
You'll eventually end up reinstalling & repartitioning to suit yourself. In
the meantime, having a separate /home means a place to save copies of critical
files, and that when you re-install you won't lose those critical files or
your personal accounts.
Best!
