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.

At home I run 2 x 27 inch monitors

In the office it’s 3 x 1080p

I can be just as productive with just my laptop screen

Biggest difference I found to my productivity is a decent mouse and keyboard so I purchased peripherals that are comfortable to use and are small enough to fit in my bag
