The biggest thing I have noticed about nice pits is that they are always well kept and organized. Our pit is a 10x10x10 cube made of 80-20 and in some of the corners we have 1 foot segments which can be removed to make a 9x9x9 for venues with space constraints. We built two pit carts with racks for the totes we store hardware and what ever in with drawers for other things. The carts also serve as our counters. The pit itself has a book case style shelf with our buttons and PR materials on display along with a video feed or virtual trophy case, next to that is a long shelf that runs above a pit cart where we mount LEDs to for light. In the back we have a projector that runs a video banner on the front of our pit it takes up little space so it's perfect for our needs.

You don't need to go super fancy, but I would definitely invest in good storage and a good robot cart. Also keep as large of an open space as possible, a crowded pit is a dangerous pit
