Apart from personal preference, i think it depends on use and applications.
Generally speaking for 3d modelling, Photoshop work and AE, one could 
argue that a larger high res 30'er or more!  right in front of the user 
is preferable.
(Usually paired with a 4:3 20er in portrait for fluff).

For editing, Premiere and multitasking it would be  two 24 or smaller 
displays along with a broadcast display.
