I keep my UI pretty low on mod usage. At the moment I only use:
Spartan UI + Bartender
Xperl Unit Frames
Omen
Recount
PowerAuras
Quartz
ClassTimer
Cartographer
EPGP Lootmaster
Lightheaded
This is my general solo combat set up. I tend to keep up standard Blizzard buffs as using those is easiest for me to see how my debuff stacks on stuff like four horsemen are at a glance. I've also got ClassTimer keeping track of the 3 important buffs i can give myself in the top left, as well as the 3 important diseases i can get on enemies right above my target enemy. This allows me to easily see if any buffs/debuffs are missing at a glance. You can see a couple PowerAuras glowing around my DK there signifying that I have a Fallen Crusader proc up as well as Unholy Blight. I mostly use this to keep track of optimum Gargoyle usage or in fights like Thadius where depending on which charge i get a giant blue or red skull and crossbones will pop up over my character.
Here is one with Omen and Recount up. Generally I don't need these to be large and I shove these off in the bottom corners. I've also got Xperl going up there which I use for Party and Raid frames. Everything else in Xperl is turned off. Quartz castbar can obviously be seen there.
That's pretty much it. I was working with a set up that had all of the ClassTimer bars down by the Spartan UI but i found that I tended to watch the Hotkey bars too much with things centered so far down and was missing void zones etc too much. By moving some of the buffs to the top corners i'm generally more focused on center screen and am also able to have a UI that doesn't have a lot of stuff randomly cluttered on top of my character (like a lot of the UI screenshots I see on EJ etc. YUCK!) So far it is working out very well and i've become extremely fond of Spartan UI. The few problems I've found with it are fairly minor and things they have acknowledged on their forums and will be working on. Or they are just issues with Bartender (mostly related to Vehicles - like all other addons.)
Edit: Total memory usage for these mods is generally around 10mb. it goes up to about 20mb in groups when Recount and Omen are running.
Edit2: I'll probably be looking to get rid of Cartographer as i'm not very pleased with how well they have been keeping it working. If they could get the dungeon loot tables working for Cartographer again i'd be pleased.
