The style I like is to have one partition for /boot
Why? What's that get you if /sbin is unreadable?
This isn't to make /sbin's content available; that's what RAID is for.
This is to make the content of /boot available to GRUB. As far as I know
- and please let me know if I'm out of date on this - GRUB doesn't
"speak" LVM.

Or, have a 40 Gb disk, install (a la Aragorn) $OS, add a ca. 3 Gb
/scratch, and I've 26 Gb left to portion out whenever I wish. What does
lvm gain you in this situation but an added level of complexity?
A layer of indirection so that, when you "portion out whenever you wish",
you don't need to worry that you've the necessary contiguous blocks.
[Sorry for the rant ...]
Yeah, what's that about? Did LVM kick you as a child or something
<laugh>?
