You will definitely want to have /home as a separate partition.
It is very good for when you want to install a fresh version (ie, not
upgrade) since you can format it safely.

I agree, and on servers a seperate /var can be useful as well since it
is where the users "Inbox", all the system logs and the html dir..
Im my mind the best setup would be..
/boot (primary)
/ (primary)
/home (LVM)
/var (LVM)
swap (LVM)?
Later..
