Yeah, there's no "1 perfect way". If for example all you had to address was windows 10 and Office 2016--you could have 1 sug/package/deployment. we have some lines of business that end up with 6 different SUGs: Current Month OS, Current Month Office, "this Year", "stuff prior to this year", "Non security - discretionary". Other lines of business just have 1 SUG (because they only support for example Servers, with no office components installed).
Honestly--it's whatever makes sense to you (and the people that are your backup Admin). And yes--1000 limit per Software Update Group; so you need to keep that in mind when designing. Note that for those 6 SUGs for that LOB--they are all targeted to the same collection(s), with the same start and deadline. It's just how you want to break them up to handle the 1000 limitation, and also how you want to look at reports.
