That's a good resource. Point six (swapiness) is also something to pay attention to.
10 GB would be more than enough, you'd probably be ok with half of that. On the Windows 8 question I can't comment since I've never used it.
If you plan on using suspend or hibernate you'll need swap space at least the size of your RAM
If you want to look at lightweight Debian based distros I can highly recommend Crunchbang.
I tried the option --store-quirks-as-lkw but it didn't work reliably. Most likely it was because --quirk-vbe-post didn't solve the issue like I first thougt - apparently my computer can hibernate...

If you have a spare USB stick I recommend using the tool Startup disk creator (I have my system in English so I can't remember the Swedish name) to make a bootable USB drive. Much faster than a CD :)
