We use the community version of Nexus but they do the same things.

We have one piece of software that we sell. There are a few github repos
which make up the code for this software. We have been using only ANT for
years and all our libs are in WEB-INF/lib
We also write plugins against us to deploy in our system.
We are moving to using Maven for our Dependencies. We have Artifactory set
up and working.
My questions are as follows
1. For local Repositories should I stick with the convention that
Artifactory shipped with?
libs-release-local, libs-snapshot-local, plugins-release-local,
plugins-snapshot-local,-ext-release-local,ext-snapshot-local
I was wondering if I should just create one local repo and store everything
in it?
No. You need to keep things separate.
Generally, it is a good idea to follow the vendor's recommended
structures until you have a good reason not to.
Some of the artifacts will be yours(hosted), most will be from other
Maven repos (proxy).
You may want to have different access rules for different repos - who
can read it, who can publish a snapshot, who can publish a release. You
may have different rules about plug-ins than you do for application and
library code.
2. Related to number 1. Can 1 repo not support the snapshots?
You are going to deploy many snapshots and few releases. Access (as
above) is an issue. Rules about cleaning out old snapshots will be
different than releases.
3. Related to 2 What is the best practice way to handle my branch which
people run everyday and gets commits everyday. This is during development.
Snapshots until you release.
4. Is there a recommended way to handle group/artifact naming. I have seen
many on the internet
Group - com.mycompany.project
Artifact - meaningful name
Version - x.y.z
works for us.
It should make things easier to find and you pretty quickly can see
where something came from.
We have a "util" group "com.artifact_software.util" where we put
utilities that are shared between projects.
I hope that this helps

Thank you,
