So, how many? Answer: The more the better, but only if the device is capable of storing different values in them.
This is equivalent to the sampling rate/sample width war in the audio industry. We are currently at 192Khz/24bits, where things seem to have calmed down a bit. And yet, after all these years very few A/D converters can actually use the 24 bit gamut properly (=in a linear fashion).
I think in digital cameras the sensor technology needs to mature some more for the "megapickels" issue to become of interest again.
