Windows and Ubuntu as dual boot and when partitions should be primary and logical?

by

I have two drives 80GB and 500GB, I want to use 80GB for Windows 8.1 and 500GB drive for ubuntu 14.04LTS.

I read lot of forums/tutorials, but I am confused someone using Primary for Swap, Root and Home and in some tutorials Logical etc etc.

  1. Please guide me what is the best way to create partitions in my
    situation?
  2. Which partition should be larger, home, root or boot and
    why?

Note: I will use Ubuntu for web-development and android-development.
