Default Flash drive recording time

I'm finally getting around to making some flash drive playlists, and am wondering what size flash drives to get. I plan to have a separate drive for each playlist. My playlists range from 2 hours to over 60 hours. Any help is appreciated.

I'm running the 128 GB version that sTz shared an example of...

On edit: No real need to put a different playlist on each drive. Throw all your music on one big drive and setup your playlist on the drive.
