I think 100G will be fine. The size depends on your situation. You
want to have more than a few volumes (for better recycling efficiency)
but less than a few thousand volumes.

I think that is just a different strategy, either will work. I use
"Maximum Volume Bytes" for disk volumes at home and at work. For me I
limit the size to 5GB and use the disk volumes with the bacula virtual
changer but I do not have many disk volumes. At work I use disk
volumes mainly for the catalogs and have the real 30+ TB backup to LTO
tape.
