Drive Setup Question for APPLE IIC+ and peripherals (lemmy.one)

I have the following devices:

Apple IIC+, whose internal drive is working.
BMOW floppy EMU.
external 3.5" drive that just says Apple 3.5" drive.
2 drive 5.25 external drive.

What is the best configuration to set these up in to maximize storage space and secondarily to provide the most media capability?

Thanks!

Follow on question: I would like to setup the BMOW floppyEmu to be a 'hard drive' and boot from that most of the time. I will be loading it up with prodos. So far I have not been able to get a bootable hard drive, and I am stuck using the FloppyEmu as either 1 or 2 5.25 drives.

update: This configuration seems to be too small to have basic.system and all of the items required for the system utilities.
