Re: Installation - File system type and partitioning questio
Ext4 is much quicker too. But you will notice only if you do a lot of file operations. Average users on average computers will not experience much difference.
The setup looks quite standard. I would say 3GB for swap is a bit of overkill (how much RAM do you have anyway?), and 20GB for / is a bit short (my main machine uses over 25GB since there's a couple of games installed...)
Instead of just /home I would have created an extended partition with 2 logical partitions in it, both appr. 110GB, one for /home one for /backup. Syncing /home to /backup on the same disk is not a real solution, but it gives you a bit more to fall back to than nothing.
