This is my current setup.
1. Two pinned apps that I always launch.
2. A toolbar that groups and expands 7Stacks with my most used Apps
3. An Objectdoc that contains links to libraries, the file system and some tools

I guess because I have a 1080p resolution, I don't see I will ever run out of space, and never have, so I never combine taskbar buttons. It's much easier for me to see what I have open rather than have to hover over each tab button. But I do understand combining taskbar buttons looks much more sexier.

Combine ...
I use "Combine when taskbar is full".
I like to see what I actually have open and to be able to go directly to it.
I'm also using VirtuaWin + KvasdoPager, set to 4 Desktops.

Even with Combine, I get the arrow for having too many items open to switch between even more programs.

I'd like it if W7 offered the option to stretch the whole taskbar over multiple horizontally aligned monitors, as that would save me from combining at the point of overflow, and would really make multi-displays better to run - alas it's not been something which MS have considered implementing.
Yeah. I know, some would argue that could mean a lot of mousing back and forth to the start orb, however isn't that what the Windows Key is for?
So I choose to combine when the taskbar is full, and voted accordingly. I really do think MS should have a bit of a rethink on improving their next incarnation of Windows in this respect though.

I never combine the stuff on my taskbar; even though I rarely look at them (I use winkey/alt-tab for everything) I just like knowing I have X items open, without having to worry whether X = X or not.
My taskbar could disappear and the only thing I would care about is not seeing the various gizmos I have docked in the system tray :P (which, naturally, I have set to show everything instead of the default hide inactive icons). Come to think about it, my system tray stretches nearly half my screen width...
