The templates we make available to our clients are 20GB. This seems to be enough for them, if they need more space the can add a datadisk. For systems like Ubuntu and CentOS it seems less that 10GB can become tricky on the long term. We use LVM for the partitioning so you could extend you root device over the datadisk. But it's not something that we do quite often, normally we just add a data drive (which can be resized) and mount it as homedir (cause this has the most data in most cases) for example.
