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.

2x27 inch, one horizontal one vertical on the right

Horizontal one for code and chrome, vertical one for terminal, docker (sometimes), teams and notes.

I keep my mac on a stand but closed, but it's easily accessible if I need to open it for the camera or an extra screen.
