Layout Managers

Whats the best layout manager to use? Do you use them all for specific circumstances or do you just use the same one/ones all the time?

I've been trying to make a typical input form with label-text field parings but i can't seem to get it right. I'm not sure whether to have the labels and text fields on the same panel or seperate and also i have problems with some layout managers making all the text fields the same size. Any suggestions for this?
