I play around too, but I always end up with one on top and one on the
bottom.  The only difference is the location of the applets... I also
make my bottom bar (the one with the task bar) fatter so it holds two
rows of tasks.  But really, that's it.

I've never really had the desire to customize it further.

Default-ish is good, but it's nice to have the option to play around. :)
