No there really isn't any Tuts of what Formulas work well with others, it's mostly trial and error and experience. My rule of thumb has basically been keep any 4D formulas away from 3D formulas and vice versa, they don't play well together. Some complex math formulas are noisy and slow rendering, you can usually get a hint on what a formula is doing by clicking the I icon next to the formula selected and reading the Info for that formula and sometimes it will tell you not to use in conjunction with other types and also whether it will be slow or noisy. FractalForums.com has extensive information on formulas in their Forums in the 3D mandelbulb Forum area.
I always have good luck with using the Asurf Formula in conjunction with Folds and Rotations and also the Polyfolds work well with most anything. Abox or BulbBox work well with Rotations, varying Scales in Boxes from positive to negative yeilds good results in hybrids with rotations, or with Folding Integer Power formulas are good.
Actually the best way to learn is to use others params to see what it is they are doing to yeild particular results, that's why I always post my params with the image, for others to learn from.
Remember...No matter where you go there you are
