By all means make all the paging spaces equal in size. AIX uses them round-robin and therefor you might considerable decrease paging performance if you have unevenly sized paging spaces.

Usually the paging space is used to store OS dumps, so make sure the size of the paging space is big enough to hold the system dump (check with the command sysdumpdev).

I hope this helps.
