This page has good layout guidelines. it includes the reasons, so you can figure out what applies to other designs: http://desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/NixiePSU.html. The data sheets for some of the converter chips are also good sources of layout design. I'm at the point in my own learning curve where I want to experiment with this stuff, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that whilst not being hit by the layout restrictions. Breadboard inc is clearly out of the question because of stray capacitance, inductance and poor contact resistance. I've built someone else's design on perfboard, and it has behaved very well - it at least produces enough voltage and current to drive what I needed (not nixies). So I am hopeful with some of the lower clock rate designs.
