I think the broad consensus is that most users should just leave it the 
way Apple ships it (OS X and 9 on the same partition). If you have a 
good reason for wanting to partition it, you certainly can, but on 
average it's not necessary.

I've bought a 120GB hard drive and I plan to partition it into two 60GB 
partitions, one for a constant mirror backup of my "original" 60GB 
drive and the rest for EyeTV, music/video projects etc.

But I'm leaving my original 60GB as it came from Apple (OS 9 and OS X 
on the same partition).
