In my experience, I see about a 2x increase in space required between
MyISAM and InnoDB.  I believe this may be documented btw, check the
InnoDB section of the manual.

I have been using InnoDB for a couple years now on databases up to
180GB.  InnoDB has been very robust and I have only once come across a
corruption after a crash of the DB or the operating system (linux).
