In addition to what Michael said, for reference there's a comprehensive list of Exchange 2010 perfmon counters available at the link below - split into the different Exchange 2010 roles. You could look through these and pull out those of interest, based on the services you want to monitor.

I have the basics on the box disk space, memory, io and the sort. Have several exchange 2003 metrics using on another server, things like Average Delivery time, Messages delivered/min, receive/send queues. Looking for things that may be 2010 specific.
