A big Bass trap?

I also believe it gives the equal chance of absorption for both the height and length modes, but I might be incorrect there.

You are right about this. It does cover 2 boundaries, which is always helpful.

The long wavelength soundwaves do not care as much about incident angle. But the air gap will be reduced with anything but 45 degrees.

I just downloaded the fuzz measure demo - for those interested, here is my session for analysis. This was tested with the built in corner bass traps as well as some positioned floor/wall traps in place..its my first time testing so something is bound to of gone wrong!

45 degrees is suggested because it gives the largest possible air gap. I also believe it gives the equal chance of absorption for both the height and length modes, but I might be incorrect there. Will they still work well at other angles? Yes. Maybe not as well, but I can't imagine it to deteriorate the performance a TON if it were at a 30/60 angle instead of 45.

Square / soffit style traps visually don't seem to take up much room compared to a straddled 2x4 trap, even though they will occupy the same amount of room volume. (That is, with 17" soffits and including the air gap on the straddled panel)

To summarize, I think a soffit trap is the best option, then triangular superchunks, then a straddled 2x4 panel. I would rather see you straddle a 2x4 panel at a different angle than say making a thinner trap like 1ft wide hung at 45 degrees.

Thanks for the advice Kasmira, I meant they just seem to take up so much space as the ceiling is only 2.2 meters.

What I have decided to do is position the traps on the floor/wall corner when I want to do any critical listening/mixing. For the rest of the time i.e band rehearsals or just practice, I can pick them up and just store them in a corner out of the way. I think that is my best option

Here's how I positioned the floor/wall traps:
