A task orientated desktop where each (of several clearly defined) task groups is assigned to a virtual desktop.
In the past, I tried this. I also tried having a panel which flipped between maximised application windows in a style similar to a TV channel changer, for a while. Neither really works any better than having one desktop and keeping it tidy. Again, the metaphor is too close to the real world, it seems.
So, I'd say pick a window manager with good tools for managing windows in the way that you want, above all else.
