That rather depends on what you're putting on the drive (e.g. whopping
huge video editing files), and whether you do need to make very sure
that you leave enough space to fix up a problem with them. It's no fun
trying to sort out a drive that's 99% full. Though, yes, 5% probably is
too much.
You also might like to check out how your file system's block allocator
behaves when the file system is >95% utilized. It's not always pretty.
