Default Is there a "correct" panel layout?

Insurance companies like "accepted standards" for pilots that routinely may
fly different aircraft, to include gear/flap lever positions and the order
of the Throttle(MP)/Prop(RPM)/Mixture(FuelFlow) levers.

Airspeed, Attitude, Altimeter
Turn and Bank, Compass/HSI, VSI

Secondary Nav instruments (primary on the HSI) to the right of the Altimeter
and VSI
Radio stack to the right of that, Engine instruments where they fit

If you look at most business class turbines you'll find the engine stack
between the Nav indicators and the radio stack.

Also... what is the best way to layout a six pack? are there
"standards" with that? Where does/should each instrument go?
