first here are my PC specs: 2x128GB SSD 1x 1TB HDD and 16GB RAM I have already installed Windows 7 on one of my SSD's.

I did a partition on the 1TB HDD with Windows disk management. So Windows got 800GB of space and Ubuntu will use 200GB, when it is installed.

Now I want to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my other SSD. My question is, what is the best partition scheme?

/ will obviously go on the SSD, but what about /home - HDD or SSD? My thought was, that / and /home go on the SSD, because with 128GB I have plenty of space. And /media or /mnt will go on the HDD. Is that good?

I also make a 8GB swap partition on the HDD (0.5 * 16GB RAM = 8GB).

And if I would want to do an upgrade when Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is released in two months, do I have to do a clean install? (Is 16.04 LTS worth it, when I have already 14.04 LTS on my PC?)
