Best Practice: Partition within VMDK or create separate VMDK?

Total n00b, welcome any white papers on the topic.  I am creating a WS2008R2 server with 2TB of space.  Typically when I convert physical to virtual and there are multiple partitions, it creates each partition as a separate VMDK in the file store for that Guest.  When I create my own guest, I can create the 2TB file store, and then using the Windows Installation process, I can create multiple partitions WITHIN the VMDK.  What's the best practice here?  Multiple VMDKs for partitions or one VMDK with partitions nested inside?  Thanks so much!
