Exchange Database Storage Design

I'm in the process of implementing Exchange 2007 for 1500 users. Each
user will have a 1GB mailbox. Storage will be located on a SAN. What
is the recommended number of databases per LUN? One database per
LUN? Is it best to combine databases on one LUN? What is a
recommended database per LUN ratio? I would like each LUN to have
110% of the database for recovery/defrag purposes. Thank you in
advance.
