I was very worried that I hadn't given myself enough room after my initial install, but I think now that that will never be a problem. The /usr, /var, and /home trees are on separate filesystems, and /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp/. If I were in your situation I would use 20-25 MB. Of course, I'm no expert and I'm not in your situation ...
