Irrespective of single-boot or dual-boot setup I suggest you have a single root partition and a swap. My personal experience with different partitions is that you eventually run out of space on at least one of them. Still if you want to do separate partition then you should keep min 100MB for /boot, min 5GB for /root and rest for /home.
