Since my named is mentioned lol
I hope Clan leader 'XeMoAsLaM91" dun mind me visiting
The best layout is actually based on a few principles, basic 101 mechanisms, your level of defense and what league you are in.
A fantastic base that is Anti Hog and Anti Balloons will be no use if you are farming at Gold 2~3. Barbs and Archers will go straight through all those singular line defenses.
A Super fantastic Anti - Everything base might even fail because its too multipurpose...so it lowers the protection needed for all type of troops.
A Hunting base and Farming base also is totally different, hunting bases put all the storage outside and weak structures inside to minimize 50% wins.
Farming base put Storage mostly inside.
So if members come to me to recommend a base or tweak it for them, I need more information of the condition that is required
But all talk and no picture also dun mean anything right?
Some of my customized bases:

Used for Masters....where only Hogs and Balloons rule the warzone...includes killing zone in front of the TH where troops cannot touch the TH even in front of it. Includes Free flow Merry go round to avoid Xbow stuck to Meat thats hitting on Walls. This base actually has a 30% chance of winning defenses in Masters!, means can stay in Masters easily with 30cups win through defenses.
Ppl see this base and laugh....but they dont know that this is actually a killer base. Many have fallen for that Merry go round...even top level players from top clans.

Below is a Fully customized base design for anti everything....but lowers all defenses...the funneling is zig zag crazy. instead of merry go round, it takes the Giants to a Zig Zag funnel...and the small boxes are time wasters for all farming troops incl wizards. I use this base for both Farming and Trophy Push. It previously had the word "b****" written on its sides...but was taken out for the rival clan was pissed off by it...so pissed off that they used the best player to 3 star it

But its tweak not to let that happen again. Ppls see this base and facepalm...WTH comes to mind

Below is a Pure Clan War Base...."0" storage protection....this is a fighting base sole purpose is to slaughter Hogs
This base is so open, with many gaps for traps, no one touches this base during clan wars lol...
Includes 2 spaced walls to fool enemy into thinking there's nothing in there (but cannot fool AQ and Wiz)....
But this base sucks when against farming troop (which seldom ppl use in Clan War) and drags
Tweaked by Peabak (Ringus designer) and customize again by me to follow my defense lvl and purpose.
Ppl see this base and say WTF is this?!

Note: Some of the traps and defense structures are out of place for confidentiality of the real setup
No probs to copy it but do tweak it youself, never copy paste base designs, what works for me might not work for you based on many perimeters
As you can see, my defenses all are not maxed even when my lvl is 100+. I spend most of my time on research of troops and base layouts.
Sorry to say, this layout can be put in the archives for legendary layout of the old CoC before the updates...
Anyway, good effort that you post this...so now, you can learn more.
Do check out Supercell Clash of Clans Forums for the latest trends that really work.
Cos if it doesn't work, it will not be posted there...or will get negative comments
