Every time I think I have a good layout, I work in there for a while and then want to change it. Is this normal or obsession ? haha
This is what I have right now:

My issue now after running the S&C ducting for my DC is that I really don't feel like I'm getting enough out of it on the longest run which ends at my bandsaw and planer. That run goes up from the DC to the ceiling so about 6 feet, across the ceiling for about 12 feet and then down the wall and to the bandsaw or planer so that's another 8 feet, the last part in flex hose. Too many bends and too much distance I think.
So I'm thinking now about totally re-arranging my shop so the D.C. is against one wall and all the tools are arranged in a half circle around it. The longest run would be a straight shot to my table saw of 6-8 feet.

Will have to add a table behind the saw for outfeed support but that's simply enough. Gives me better access to my workbench since it won't have to double as an outfeed table. And hopefully gives me much better dust collection.
Think I'll finish my current project before I start moving all this around......
