I don’t think there’s any difference between SSD and spinning disk (for the
particular question of how many inodes are needed).
If your planned usage is “typical” then, for either type of hardware, “typical
usage” is the right choice. If you have a particular use in mind that is known
to involve lots of small files, then “news” might be more appropriate.
As a real-world example, here’s a system I set up a couple of years ago (so
it’s had enough time to reach an equilibrium state) with “typical usage” (the
default).
rbthomas@monk:~$ df -ih | grep -v tmpfs

udev 3.0M 580 3.0M 1% /dev
/dev/mapper/monk--vg-root 1.8M 258K 1.5M 15% /

Enjoy!
