It depends on how much software you have for each OS. I have made the
(costly) transition to OSX and all the software that goes with it. Since OSX
is a large OS I needed to give it more space with the software. If you use
OS9 more then weight the partitions towards that.

I have 10GB for OSX with apps, 8 GB's for OS9 and 8 GB's for YDL. I left the
other 14 GB's (I have a 40 GB drive) unallocated for expansion for any of
the OS's in the future.
