What is Really the Best TH 7 Hybrid/Trophy/Farming Base?

Title says it all really. I got to TH 7 a week ago I think, and I've been trying out different bases and such, using funneling to take out giants if the attacker is using a giant healer strategy. At the moment, I'm using the "Storm" base for TH 7. Mine looks like this:

Its a trophy base, but I want to be able to gain trophies, and keep my gold/elixir. How could I achieve this and make this better? What other bases should I probably use?

I recently changed it to a farming base of my own making:

It seems to work pretty well, except against dragons.

For upcoming wars, and I want to keep my resources but still not let them get a star.

Check out M0LT's TH7 trophy base. It's pretty good IMO. I've been using it and I usually win my defenses.

I'm not just looking to win, I also want to win but keep my elixir and gold, consistently

If you want to keep your loot, then get a farming base. You'll get a free shield (80% of the time), and you'll only use like 6-10 trophies, which can be easily made up. Also, use barch so that you can raid quicker.

My version of barch:

76 archers
74 barbs
7 wall breakers
7 giants

Any spell composition you would like

This setup is very fast, not very costly, and deadly. I use this whenever I push.

My philosophy is that it's MINE! ALL MINE!
And with my TH7 design, I keep it. Mind you that it's not going to stop higher TH's from curbstomping you, but you will keep most of your stuff.
I call it my 'Keep A'Knocking' base.

How does that base work? and has it proven successful? Like during wars, and just defense in general? I do not have a Barbarian King.. Sadly, so would it still prove to be successful without it.

Does it work really well in keeping trophies and resources? The weakness I have is the Barbarian King, so I dont know how well it would work.

Look up "Spiral Sanctuary" because it is fantastic :) I used it and was very satisfied.

Base works because you're being fired upon by at least three things at any given moment- I've been having great success at defense even with half of my stuff down being upgraded. Fully operational, my walls don't get breached much.
Barb King is just a toy to scare children with at lvl1 actually lol

I use this base, and I win about 60-75% of my defenses. (I usually upgrade all of my walls before work/sleep) to avoid being raided.

That seems like a good hybrid base, I'm going to try that.
