Question Quality Hour Building

I´m a PPL with about 100 hours TT plus night qual. and am looking to build my hours up so I can begin a CPL course. However, I am mindful that I can clock up hours in a way that will benefit me when I start a commercial course and ways that will not.

While I know that flying round and round my local airfield is about as useful as driving round it, what is a good way to build hours?

Having asked a fair few people, some advise an IMC rating for some instrument experience and others against. Other advise to get some twin experience becuase its cheaper than twin hours at a commercial school.

Getting the basic flying right (like maintaining cruise altitude +/- 100ft of your target) is a good start but does anyone have any other thoughts?

Cheers
