Just decide what you need to see all the time ... versus what you don't need to see ... and what there's room for so as to allow a wide enough viewing area that you have some periheral vision when digging in scary spots. It would be a good idea to peek at as many UI setups as possible so you can try various setups pick what best suits your individual play style. Mine is pretty much the same as it was 13 years ago, tho it has evolved slightly over the years.
