Does this help (page 63), or are you looking for more specific recommendations?

For ESXi just let the hypervisor partition it how it wants (ESX partitioning a lost art form in ESXi).

If you're dealing with an older ESX environment, then have a look at Duncan's blog post on the topic partitioning your esx (make sure to read the comments for other peoples input).

Have a look at Dave Mishchenko's site: Welcome to vm-help.com

He also wrote a book recently VMware ESXi: Planning, Implementation, and Security
