This is important for D3D. Firstly, you can create a depth surface and use it with any texture surface so you might only need one. But the important part is, if the depth buffer is enabled, it has to be at least as big as the bound texture. Otherwise, nothing will render. That's a little known fact I think, and it screwed me up really good once. Something to keep in mind and maybe document.
