I think this is where the problem lies, a persons Vim configuration is personal to them and their needs, there's so much disparate information out there I'm finding it difficult to say "this is a good configuration for Ruby, this is a good configuration for Python"

It would be good if there was some sort of package you could download that sets up your development environment (Vim + plugins + configuration file) for a particular language.

At the moment it's just a personal preference and I'm finding it difficult to find what's useful or not

There's not too much of a problem here actally. All these plugins are supplemental functionality. Vim is an amazing editor by itself. Master that and then enhance it with a few plugins here and there for the particulars of your workflow.
