Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor? (self.pcmasterrace)

I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?

Single ulttawide using two inputs. So use split screen each half using separate cable and then joined together again as single desktop. The advantage is that you can easiliy maximise a window to half of the screen or share only half of your screen in teams etc. But still have a single big desktop where you can drag windows from one side to the others.

That's actually a cool idea. What inputs do you use. One from onboard and the other half from graphics card?

From docking station that has multiple outputs but I guess could also work very well with split screen from onboard graphics card.

Only downside I see is if you want to have a full screen game from dedicated graphics card you need to switch off the split screen on the monitor menu.
