When selecting a layout that works best for your web part consider the type of content you are displaying. Is it visual or rich in text and information. How much space is needed on the page for enough content to be displayed. Consider trucating descriptions that may be lengthy to optimize for displaying more itmes to the end user. Remember that the property pane can be leveraged to let authors have control of how much content is displayed.
