Optimizing Your Sets for Creativity

I'm getting into custom builds now and I'm sick of constantly finding i dont have what i need. Usually because I need symmetry and only have one of a specific brick. I'm wondering how builders optimize their collection so that this happens less often. Like what's a good way to bulk up my brick types so that i can get through a build without constant roadblocks? Or if you were to start all over, what would you buy to have a versatile collection of bricks that allow you to build whatever comes to mind? And secondly, obviously you can't have it all, there's always going to be a specific thing in a certain color that you dont have. So what are the things not to focus on when bulking up the collection? What are the mistakes you learned from? Lastly, do you use non-lego bricks?
