With some things, you just have to jump in and see what's up. There is no substitute for a little exploration, and no one can tell you what you prefer. Spend the time to acquaint yourself with the options and choices you have available and then make your selections. Once you've made some choices, you can go back and evaluate which choices seemed to be sub-par and maybe make a new choice.

You will exaggerate inefficiencies and personal frustrations if you take someone else's decisions as your own. After all, we're all unique (except for that one guy); what is best for one of us may not be the best for you.

In this specific case: Set up your HUD in a way that seems to make sense to you. Then tell us what you did and why.
