I usually set up dev, stop, fix1, fix2, water bath.

I then print a batch, could be a large batch, and then clean up that set of 
trays, and go to another set:

Hypo clear, wash (archival washer), toner, water bath.

And then finally run everything trough the archival washer one more time before 
it goes into the dryer (I use a drum dryer for fiber).

End result is that I only have a max of 4 trays set up at once (which will fit 
in my sink for up to 16x20), and a total of 6 trays for each size.  When I do 
20x24 which is the largest that I can do in my darkroom, I have to start 
stacking trays, which makes life much harder.

I use a Zone VI holding bath which keeps fresh water circulating over my prints 
for the water bath, and a vertical slot archival washer for the two  wash steps 
- these two things sit in a second 'sink'
