How to wire up a consumer unit

A semi-detached house has a prehistoric fuse box with rewirable ceramic fuses. It will shortly be replaced with a modern consumer unit. The existing circuits are:



 



1. Lights



2. Upstairs sockets



3. Downstairs sockets



4. Kitchen sockets



5. Cooker



6. Shower



 



The following circuits will be added to the consumer unit:



 



7. Central heating



8. Burglar alarm and CCTV



9. Outside lights



 



I have been informed that the best choice is a split load consumer unit with two RCDs and space for RCBOs. My intention is that circuit 8 has its own RCBO but what is the optimal way to allocate circuits to RCD A and RCD B? Also, should any other circuits have their own RCBO?
