Mouse/Trackpad/Trackpoint acceleration: How to get it right?

I fail to get the acceleration for my mouse, trackpad and trackpoint right. It seems like having 100 interdependent knobs and trying to find some secret combination of values.

I decided to use xset and xinput. For example:

xset m 5 1
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Profile' 2  # Polynomial
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 3
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration' 2
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Velocity Scaling' 5
... 'device2' ...
... 'device3' ...

After having tried a bazillion of different values in different combinations, I'd be extremely glad to receive a KISS recipe on how to get it right.
