Depends on quite a few factors. For one customer, we created a single storage group with 3 mailbox stores and 1 public store. The users were spread across the mailbox stores according to their surname, e.g. A-G one 1st store, H-P on 2nd etc. If a store fails, it doesn't affect a particular department, etc.
By only creating 3 mailbox stores, coupled with the mapi public store, we still have a slot free for a spare store should the need arise to create one, e.g. DR purposes, etc. The recommended approach is still to keep your transaction logs on a separate RAID1 array, away from the databases. If you have more than 1 storage group, you should have further arrays available to separate the storage group transaction logs from each other. Having said that, I haven't yet had to justify more than 1 storage group on a system. Just one example from the many that are possible!
