can you give me some advice as to what partitions to create, can i
get away with just root and swap or is it worth considering more
granularity.
I will install Debian on 1 HDD to start and add the other in after,
mirror the debian partitions, then create data partitions.
How big are your hard discs?

I'd probably go for some variation on my usual set-up there. A 10G
partition on each disc, RAIDed with RAID1 for /. Then perhaps a 1G
partition on each, again RAID1, for swap. Then put the whole of the
rest of each disc into a single large partition, again RAID1, but use
the resulting device as a physical volume for LVM and allocate LVs from
that as needed.
