I was using 1 basket of pre-filter and 2 baskets of biomax, but recently replaced the pre-filter with scrubbies.
I put in half pond matrix and half eheim substrat pro. They're supposed to be the best type of bio so I bought both of them. Oh I. Also put in seachem matrix carbon for chemical filtration. I only use the stock sponges on the side for mech.
It really depends on what you need the fx5 for. I use it mainly for bio filtration. I filled 2 sections with bio-max and the other with crushed coral.
I have a Fuge with my water running through a Sock before it ever meets my FX5 and I filled mine with Matrix in the top two baskets and Fluval Ceramic rings in the bottom one. Stock sponges on the sides.

Same here, but the fluval rings are on top. Works good for me in conjunction with my W/D.
interesting guys... i might try to dabble in some of your combonations. i myself have just used it as "normal" per instructions set up...
1st Basket - Matrix + Blue polishing pad + 2 layer of filter floss
2nd Basket - Matrix
3rd Basket - Matrix + Peat
You can see how the word "Matrix" appears the most
