Please take a look at hier(7) (man 7 hier), it might answer some of you
questions.
No one could give you an exact advice without knowing what that server
will do, how often data will change, the average file size, etc. Unix
style has some advantages over the windows.
For example, I have a database server, on which I have a separate slice
for mysql's databases, a somehow big /tmp and "small" slices for / ,
/usr, /var.
You should ask this kind on questions@ providing more information.
