Generally, it depends on which class I'll play.

Usually I start off with a set list of addons I always use:
- oUF
- Dominos
- oChat
- oMirrorBars
- ...

Then I create a rough draft on paper (yes, I actually use paper, I like the tactile sensation, to quote Freya/Anise from SG1), and get working on which texture I like for my UFs, castbars etc. I pick my fonts (I have a list of several I like).
Then positioning of the UFs and chatboxes. My minimap usually remains in the same spot, though I am considering changing that too now. Then I get the rest going.

I have a tendency to always place my actionbars centered at the bottom. Because I like seeing my HP as well as targets, I am stuck with my UFs centered as well.

Basically, I ask myself which info do I need to see when raiding, what is info I may need/want easily but don't need straightaway. And then what is occasional info (eg gathermate)? Based on that I review my draft. I set it up, go over it while raiding. If it doesn't work I review it again.. etc

Apologies for the lack of coherence, I am drowsy at the moment.
