I will install Debian on 1 HDD to start and add the other in after,
mirror the debian partitions, then create data partitions.

Given that you don't plan to "ever do anything particularly taxing
with it on the linux side", root and swap will do fine. The bulk of
the disk(s) will be going into your data partitions.
As discussed in another thread, if you think you'll ever need to use
the "linux side" for anything interesting, you should definitely
split off a "/home" and then think seriously about splitting off "/
var" and "/tmp".
