V440 and V890 disk layout

We have two new Solaris 10 Sun machines a V890 and a V440 each have
16gig's of memory and 4 cpu's. The V440 has two 73 gb hard drives and
the V890 has four 140gb hard drives, with an attached EMC disk array
with ten 73gb drives, but the EMC you can ignore for my question,
because it will be used for the mail server file systems. These systems
will be mirrored, and we plan to buy another drive for a hot spare. My
questions is what would be the best recommended Disk Layout? Our
filesystem, "of course" are /opt, /, /export/home, /var, /tmp, swap.
What would be the recommended size for swap?. The V890 will be an
email server "Sun's Messenger Mail Server", and the V440 a test email
server with other applications.
My plan was the following

/ 15gb
/opt 15gb
/var 20gb
swap 10gb
/tmp 1gb
/export/home 8gb

Please let me know what other suggestions would be better for optimal
performance.
