Best setup for a laptop and 2 identical monitors?

I've got a gaming laptop with a 17" screen and two other monitors that are both 22" (same model as each other). How would you guys set that up? I've been going back and forth between placing the laptop in the middle and using it as a primary monitor, or putting it off to the side and putting the two external monitors side by side with a little V shape tilt (along with using an external keyboard).

The benefit of having the laptop centered is that its monitor has better quality than the 22" screens, but in a way the whole thing feels out of sync a bit and my primary is the smallest.

On the other hand, it's kind of nice having the two bigger monitors side by side, using one of them as the primary. The quality isn't quite as good but the extra screen real estate is really appealing. In that configuration, since my desk is too small to also hold an external keyboard with all of that, I move the laptop to a side table, use an external keyboard (feels like between ergonomics, also) and either close the lid or open it to hold stuff I don't have to look at too frequently

edit: I'm also considering converting one of the larger monitors to portrait mode which would allow 3 to fit on my desk
