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.
