Michael,
Stick to the default swap like Jim recommended. It is
always a good idea to have swap, even though you may never use it.
Having swap for whenever is good but not having any swap when you
need it is BAD.

So, I should choose NO SWAP partition? Or stick with a default swap
with a guided partition?
Also, should I choose to use LVM (Logical Volume Management)?
Thanks again!

No. A modest amount of swap may permit the OS to work itself out of
memory contention. A large amount of swap permits the OS to dig
itself into deeper and deeper trouble.
The defaults are rarely an issue. On one server of mine:
r...@galax:/var/lib/mysql/lsnet# free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 1555548 1222464 333084 0 91036
726672
-/+ buffers/cache: 404756 1150792
Swap: 3028212 68304 2959908
300MB would be plenty.
