I cannot speak for the good depth for a "DSB". I was gonna shoot for 2 or 3 inches just as a personal preference. Here is a calculator for how much sand you will need once you decide the depth. I also used 70 LBS instead of the preset 90 in the calc. read the footnote for more info...

I just posted a very similar question. check out this thread. Mel I think nailed it on the head. Post 3. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f45/help-with-live-sand-128972.html
