Strip: deck fiberglass and reinforcement

I have almost finished with the deck on my Spring Run. I should at least have it sanded by the end of the weekend. My question is about the fiberglass and schedule I should use.

1 or 2 layers of 3.2 oz style 1678 on the deck.

1 or 2 layers under the full deck? or 1 full and 2nd just around the cockpit?

Should I go beyond 2 under cockpit coaming? I know some use carbon fiber.

On the inside of the hull 1 or 2 layers? I did 2 on outside.

I know this is a frequent question but I know that i will over build if I just do what feels safe.
