OK so if you do have a new server then it depends on the load of the
server but if it's more then a basic server use a dedicated disk for
squid logs...
for many admins these logs are important so a raid volume\disk will
might be better.
LVM can ensure you the option to extend the size of the partition in a
case of a loaded server.

For the cache_dir it's another story since there is a limit for the size
by the ram etc.
Can you share the current proxy specs and squid.conf??
you can strip down the confidential info and I will try my best to
understand and help you if I can..
