buy in wise, 10% is an accepted figure, however 5% of your total POKER bankroll is better. This will give you 20 losing sessions, and if you win just one of these you will (or should at least!!) be in the profit.
I find deep stack tourneys much better, as you get to build up your stack with skill rather than luck, which a lot of the shallow stack tourneys seem to rely on. It also means that you have plenty of time with a healthy stack and are not short stacked after a couple of levels if you are getting no cards.
The difference between the two is with a short stack, you have to push, but playing deep stacks, you can be patient and choose your moment before making a move.
