File Location Preferences?

I am going through the process of reinstalling Sonar X1 and would to make improvements to my configuration settings, particularly the file locations.  Ideally, I wish Cakewalk would just publish a a white paper on the configuration settings that they use for their systems; that would help us all get past many of the set-up issues and start using Sonar for what we purchased it for...to make music!

I understand the concepts of using multiple physical drives and to keep the audio files separated from the OS drive, but I am still a little confused about how I should set the file locations.  I have three goals: (1) optimal performance; (2) effective backups; and, (3) ease of finding files. 

If you feel that you have a successful configuration that also meets the goals I stated, would you please share how you have configured the following file location settings?

Thank you!
