I like to keep the rhythm section, the other instruments and the vocals 
together.  Typically, something like this:

drums
bass
other backline (stage right to left)
frontline (stage right to left)
downstage vocals (stage right to left)
yapping drummers
fx returns
talk-to-stage

I'll vary the plan if there's stuff that need lots of fx tweaking; I 
like to keep them together, near the fx returns.  Where possible, I try 
to keep groups of channels together ie not on different channel banks, 
not separated by the master section of the board and so on.  That's what 
I think about when planning the patch, anyway.

Cheers,

Stu.
