Measuring directly the number of distinct 3rd-party domains which were hit is a much better and relevant measurement for comparison of privacy protection efficiency in my opinion.
uBlock and Disconnect required no extra configuration steps. Other blockers required configuration. The one requiring the most configuration for that benchmark was Adblock Plus.

This shows the differences in what was **not** blocked. If something appears on side A but not on side B, this mean side B blocked something not blocked by side A, and vice versa.

These diffs may help you in deciding whether you should complement uBlock with another blocker, though keep in mind you can always ask uBlock to block more (dynamic filtering may come handy for this).

With these few dynamic filtering rules, you would lower the _"distinct 1st-party/3rd-party pairs"_ figure for uBlock to 318 (from 491). As a bonus, pages will load markedly faster.

Any of the blocked domains above can easily be unblocked for a specific site. For example, if ever you want Twitter widgets to work when visiting AnandTech, just set `twitter.com` to a local _noop_ for that site, a mere point-and-click when using the dynamic filtering matrix.
