More different ammo types are good, although I think that in any case, any one type of ammo should be usable in at least 2 weapons, just for the sake of ensuring a certain balance between two philosophies that I consider equally valid:
On the one hand, it is good to be able to keep using Weapon A even if you run out of Weapon B's ammo. On the other hand, there is also something to be said for being able to replenish your ammo for Weapon A from more than one place.
If you have too many different ammo types, I think it would unnecessarily clutter the map in that you'd have to make sure that each type of ammo is available in a reasonable number of different places.
