Simple answer: it's not easy job to decide what LayoutManager would be correct for your too broad question.

you can use one of the standard LayoutManagers
you can combine standard LayoutManagers, e.g. each of JPanel can have the same or different LayoutManager, common as Nested Layout
you can use newer or custom LayoutManagers, e.g. MigLayout
not easy job and required very good knowledge how the LayoutManager works
