150 GB is not to large, except for one thing...

Audit is a single threaded proces, so if you even have to, you'll be
off-line for a serious amount of time (weeks ?). I'd say you'll want to
stay under 100 GB for now...

As for things as unload/load (defrag) or disaster recovery, I wouldn't
worry to much, unless you have a bunch of very slow big disks to house
your db. Defragging your database is nonsense anyway IMNSHO. As for
restore db...  just make sure you don't have to ;-) My bet is that
you'll have plenty of time to recover and again faster disks help more
than anything else.
