How much ram do you have? This would be a factor in determining how much swap space you'll need.
Do you plan to install large (or many) *.tar.gz extensions? This is a factor in determining how much space you'll need for /opt.
Do you plan to install programs using apt-get? If so, you'll need to manually reinstall them each time you boot ("manually" meaning add install commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh).
The largest partition will probably be your /home partition, where you'll keep your downloaded applications and any other data files. You could also keep programs in /opt, but it's more convenient in my opinion to have myDSL apps stored in your own directory.
