The way that I've always seen it is:

PRODUCTION - One server, one database.  Right size the server to the
database.  Easy to implement one set of policies and procedures that meet
the production requirements.  Server/database downtime is easier to
schedule.

DEVELOPMENT/TEST/TRAINING - Stick them all on one box in different
databases.  Much more flexibility in policies and procedures.  For downtime
- just tell them it'll be down.  They'll complain but the business won't
suffer.  Make sure that your have an SGA/Disk Csar who is responsible for
allocating computer resources.

I've never had any real problems with that.
