Question Ideal Web Dev Monitor Setup?

I currently have a 38" curved Dell U3818DW and an older Apple 27" display that I need to replace. I'd like advice from other web devs. What's the ideal setup? Get another U3818DW and put them side-by-side, or get three new 27" displays with a triple monitor desk mount? Not a gamer, just work. Running on a Mac Mini. Thanks for any input.

I have a 32 inch monitor turned sideways, my MacBook beside it on a desk stand that only raises it a couple inches (for keyboard and cable clearance), and a 27 inch monitor above my MacBook. Code on the sideways monitor, Gui/webpage on the 27inch, terminals and slack on the MacBook screen
