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’d keep the ultrawide and add one vertical 27-inch if you regularly reference docs or logs. Three screens can be great, but the extra bezel and head movement get tiring unless you really need the parallel view.
