I recommend more Islands than Mountains, but never go below one Mountain.
Probably start with 4 Shivan Reef, 8 Island, 4 Mountain (you get 12 blue mana sources; probably enough to not have to mull for U too often) and go from there.
I had my deck with a 10/6 split of Islands and Mountains, respectively, before I got a hold of Steam Vents and Sulfur Falls. Fetching doesn't actually thin the deck enough for them to be worth it in that regard, but they help you grab what you need, and if you're playing Misties, it allows you to play polymorph out of the sideboard. just an option!

Its really not that expensive for the lands right now. Sulfur falls and steam vents are both below 15 right now. its the fetchladns like scalding tarn and misty rainforest that are the killers. Both are over 30. My store is selling them at 35 and 33. so.....i'll probably continue just borrowing my friend's lands.
I have no problem with them except maybe a slow first turn.(Terramoprhic into island/mountain + G-Probe instead of a nice land/fetch and go off with Serum visions and G-probe)
I've been running basics since I keep forgetting to pull my fetches out of my legacy deck, and its still working fine. Keep in mind that without fetches you probably want to drop your land count by two or so. I'm running an even split of islands and mountains though some painlands would really help. Terramorphic or ETB tapped lands seem bad though.

Get further up and 4 Shivan Reef actually isn't that bad.
If you need further mana fixing, Sulfur Falls is OK. I can't recommend Cascade Bluffs, as it reduces the number of one-land hands you can keep.
Gemstone Mine is surprisingly good, even for a wholly UR deck.
