As you hinted it's a bit type specific.
However.
1. Have you got ACT? If you have- use it. It gives you the best presentation. Set the MFD to 25 miles or less.
2.Gain. Consider turning it down. You need to sort out the weather you need to avoid from 'other weather'.
3. Use the WX radar 100% of the time you fly at night.
4. Turn the lightning detector ON. It can warn you of stuff 100 miles or more away and is a useful clue that there's wx about that's too far away to see.
