How about whatever you need?
My old computer had 24 MB of RAM and I used to swap about 15 MB
(typically).

I now have 64 MB on a new computer and have not enebled a swap
partition (or file) yet.  I'm waiting to put in a second disk soon
and wioll put the swap on that disk.

I'm currently using:
Memory:      Total        Used        Free      Shared     Buffers      Cached
Mem:         63064       33984       29080       20756        4388       15564
Swap:            0           0           0
 
So I could probably live without any swap at all!
Depends on what you do...
