Roaming Profiles and Home Directory Questions

$

I wanted to ask some advice before making changes to AD for roaming profiles, folder redirection and the home folder. We run Server 2008 with Windows 7 computers. The XP workstations will be gone by the end of the month so I am not worried about those.

I currently have two shares set up as Profile$ and Home$.

From my research it looks like AppRoaming, Desktop and StartMenu should be set up on Profile$ and then set those folders to Basic - create a folder for each user.

Then Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music should be configured on the Home$.

In the user's AD account Profile properties profile path would be \\server\profile$\%username% and the Home Directory should be set as connect to H: (Home$)\\server\home$\%username%

In the GPO under user configuration folder redirection the three profile folders (AppRoaming, Desktop, Start) should point to Profile$ and the rest should point to Home$.

Is this the best way to set this up? Are the paths correct? Thanks for the help and advice!
