Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

For 8 GB I would keep everything in a single partition, the default. But then that is me. This is not a good question for this question answer site. Note, this is not a discussion forum. See askubuntu.com/help/dont-ask for the types of question not suitable here.

Unless you have any other specific requirements, it's a good idea to go with the default.
In this case, assuming no full disk encryption, the typical setup would be to have everything in one big partition with the possible exception of a swap partition, which on a hard drive this small should be kept to a couple hundred MB at most, if you have one at all.
