If you clean your cache out (often) you should not need more that 5gB for root IMHO. Use the rest for /home. (Boot looks like it is more than sufficient unless you plan on a lot of kernel experimentation and such.) The amount of /home is a very personal thing and what you have below is a lot for some people and not enough for others.
For what it is worth, I run arch with kde on 6gb at work, and it is more than enough. For personal file storage (/home at al) I use other resources.
