A RAID 1 of (relatively) inexpensive 80GB or 120GB SSDs are my default for swap and the root filesystem. Larger /srv filesystems, and the NAS holding /home, still require spinning platters on our budget.
That's a *huge* amount of swap - we settled, years ago, and I think upstream recommends, 2G. Now, around here, our servers have *significantly* more than 2G, and if we see anything in swap, we know something's wrong.
We don't allocate Swap. Instead we have large RAM and put tmp directories etc. on a RAM disk.
