Probably a primary partition for windows, a 100 MB primary for /boot, a 
primary for /home, then allow the rest of swap, system file systems to 
be contained within an LVM which is probably going to be replaced 
between newer version installations.
I don't hink that having different partitions contained wirthin an 
extended partition would make much difference.
My partition scheme is below on a 40 Gig drive. /var is pretty empty now 
but is filled up on occasion.
