I go with this method for deciding how many relays I will use:

Outbox/Write Realys:
- 1 relay I control that others can access to read from.
- 1 major public relay.
- 1 relay that is for a group I belong to that only those in the group can post to.

Inbox/Read Relays:
- 1 relay I control that others can post to, but only if they are tagging me.
- 1 web-of-trust relay
- 1 major public relay that I can remove if I start getting a lot of spam replies

Since there may be a bit of overlap, that's only really 4 or 5 relays needed.

On top of these, various clients may allow you to set other types of relays to fill in some gaps, but the above should serve you pretty well on its own.
