How much large should be the partition..in Linux..?Or what is Best Partitioning sch?

Hi Geeks,
I need to know ...while doing partitioning on RedHat Linux..What is best partitioning scheme..?
I use this:
/boot
swap
And rest goes to
/
..
But I know this is not good...one
I need to do /var//tmp,/usr etc
What are the constraints to keep a huge partition of 300GB on / ..
fsck...security...what will really a major problem with keeping a huge partition...
If I keep it a huge one...dose fsck matters...? I know it will take time to check in case of improper shutdown...
I need some feedback for partitioing a mail server and apache server...
Thanks..
