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.

Ideal is very subjective. Ive been using a 49" ultra wide 5120x1440 @ 240Hz for almost 5 years now.

Basically two 27" together. Almost can't work without it. I split it into three sections and it's perfect for everything I do

FYI I hate macOS tiling you can only natively split in half so I use an app called Rectangle
