I played around with several HUDs but have to agree with those who said that the default HUD is most comfortable. But I needed help with aiming, so I "hacked" the default HUD (both hud.plist and hud-small.plist) to add a crosshair and the Target Sensitive Reticle function. So now it is easier to aim at enemy ships.
The crosshair is the nice green coloured one from Klepto HUD.
