A bit of an old topic but I just wanted to share what I had done for my home network since my original post.
I'm running 3 Ubiquiti access points and have come up with the band plan below. Thankfully in my area, I have exclusive use of 2.4 GHz Channel 13 with very little adjacent channel interference (there is just one guy nearby using a 40 MHz wide 2.4 GHz channel).
On the 5 GHz band, I have exclusive use of the channels I've selected. It works brilliantly. I've selected specific channels very carefully based on DFS/non-DFS channels, surrounding radios and maximum transmit power. WAP #3 which is limited to 200 mW output only services a small number of clients in close proximity which is perfect while the other two provide longer distance coverage on the 5 GHz band.
If you're designing your network, hopefully this gives you a few ideas to think about. It's also interesting to note how consumer devices like to "crowd" around the same channels, despite being set to "auto" most of the time.
