I'd pretty much go with what Bob and others have said. I do however have one exception; That being the BIG CF cards. I have yet to do it myself, but I have seen others accidentally do an erase all, or a formatting of a card when that was not their intention. The result being the loss of those images. Now, the images in many cases can be recovered, but not in the field, and without spare cards, their shooting is done. So I feel safe with only around 80 - 90 images on a card. As the cameras have more pixels and the files sizes get larger, I get larger cards and try to keep to my safe image limit comfort level on them. Suffice it to say, thats only my suggestion.

As another tip, if you should be like me, and have a number of cards in a wallet; I use a system to track exposed versus unexposed cards. All cards are in-camera reformatted before a days worth of shooting, and placed face side up in the wallet. After they have been exposed, they are placed into the wallet face down.
