Leave 2-3" of slack at the centre point of the swing arm when unloaded.

Put the bike on a milk crate or stand and put it in neutral to measure accurately :)
 
different strokes for different folks i guess.

chain should be tensioned with the the rider sitting on the bike.. 1.5 inches of up and down travel in the chain is good..

Very true... The important thing is that the chain should have a small amount of slack at it's tightest point through the swingarm's motion, not a bad idea to pull the shock from one mount and check seeing as it's easy to do on a pitty :)
