Excellent summation to this series. As an avid UI person myself, getting my interface set up just exactly as I want it is so very satisfying. When you become a real UI master, you can find addon combinations that you don't normally see other people use, but they work fantastically for your individual purposes. For me, it's a highly customized Pitbull + Clique.

I'd like to add one thing: A lot of addons have very poor default settings (Pitbull is a big offender of this). Other addons are highly complex to be useful (see: Power Auras). A good thing to do is if you like the looks of a certain addon, but can't for the life of you get it set up like you want it, do a search on google or curse or whatever for specific settings. You can import other people's settings into your wtf folder, or in the case of power auras, copy and paste codes right into the addon to get that really cool effect. This is a good way to ease yourself into getting neat effects with more complicated addons.
