As you get a bigger sized kit, it becomes more important to think about the pitch of the drums, and how to "spread out" the pitches you'll use when you tune the toms.
A common approach here is to choose some regular interval tuning (some set of half steps) between each drum, and then tune those drums close to those pitches.
I'll show you one such approach, including the exact settings I'm using on a Tune-Bot. My Tune-Bot Studio is a great tool which allows me to recall this tuning easily whenever I replace the heads.
