The swapfile on another drive will only benefit when the drive is on a different channel to the OS.
I would put each OS on it's own drive. This way, you won't lose all access should the drive with the OS's on it go down or have a problem. You will allways have a bootable system.
I use 3, sometimes 4 partitions per drive. depends what I'm using them for.
One partition is allways FAT32 and contains diagnostic material as well as a copy of a drive image. Much faster than optical to restore.
FAT means DOS will see it, that's all.
Small sector size saves space when many small files exist. Larger size will be better when you need optimal speed. Streaming video or audio data to the drive for example.
Not sure if certain apps will have problems with large sector sizes.
