Default Re: Comments on Vanguard Portfolio Plan

I just talked to a guy from Vanguard. Based on our conversation, he suggested the following breakdown. What do you guys think? I'm newbish, but I'm trying to learn. If this is a good allocation, what are the best funds to select? And should I always max out my IRA before investing in a taxable fund? Does it matter which funds go in the IRA vs. the taxable funds? Thanks in advance.

<u>Alex from Vanguard's suggestions</u>

Stocks/Bonds - 80/20

Within the stocks -
---- US/Int'l - 80/20
---- Large/Small&amp;Mid - 70/30
---- Growth/Value - 50/50

Bonds - intermediate
