I have an almost identical setup minus the ZIP.My swap is 464.

I have experienced no problems with the parameters you suggest
running all sorts of programs. Swap isn't used that much, but sometimes
all of it is used.
I possibly would use up to 3GB for my configuration. But that
seems like a lot of pkgs, but apt-get install is addictive for a
tinkerer like me. So that leaves you 12GB for plenty of storage. I
actually use the space for extra partitions to install secondary distros
to experiment with.
FWIW my /home is up to 700MB and /usr is 1.1GB. This is for a
single user, home box situation, where back-ups are not critical. You'd
probably use more partitions for /var etc. in a production environment.
