I'd just use one big partition. That way all subvolume can share free
space, making space use more efficient.

If you decide to go that route, the missing feature is quota and space
accounting. At this moment you can't tell which subvol use how much,
and limit it. There are (unmerged) patches for that though.

If you're keeping your options open, try zfsonlinux as well. It might
be better suited for certain needs.
