Here's my preference (I have a 120 GB hd):
Note: I use LVM to do the partitioning. That way I can expand my
programs and/or data partitions by jumping into free space.

C: 10 GB JFS Programs only. Some programs insist on putting something
if not all on C: so I accommodate them by making C: my programs drive.

D: 50 GB JFS Data only.

E: 1 GB HPFS eCS 1.0 only. By this I mean what ever is installed
by the eCS installer.

F: (this is not an assigned drive letter but it is picked up by the
BIOS and assigned to my EIDE based Flash Card reader.)

G: 1 GB HPFS eCS 1.1 only.

L: 1.1 GB HPFS This is set aside for a memory dump space. It has to
be as big as main RAM.

M: 50 MB HPFS This will be a small maintenance partition. Right now
I use 1.0 or 1.1 as my maintenance partition.

R: Variable HPFS This is a RAM disk setup in config.sys

The rest of the HD is free space for later expansion when required.
