A good HUD, though vital, is pretty easy to implement.
These are the statistics I use on my on-table HUD for common reference:
BB Call / SB Open / 3Bet
Notice that I don't use VPIP or PFR in my HUD. While these are common stats for figuring out a person's range in a ring game, heads-up players are either in position or out of position. Therefore, we can simplify our decision-making regarding ranges by taking the number shown on our hud and entering it directly into our calculations. If the "SB Open" value is "75%" this tells me a lot more about what hands my opponent raises on the button than the equivalent PFR number. Likewise, the BB Call stat tells me the opponent's call-out-of-position range which goes into making decisions while in position on nearly every street.
Cbet / Turn Cbet
These numbers are vital in a HUD; both the flop and the double barrel percentage give me information about how strong my hand needs to be to continue in a hand. If these numbers are too high, the opponent is ripe for bluff-checkraising.
Fold to Cbet / Fold to Turn Cbet
The fold-to-cbet stat is one of my most prized stats. If this number is too high, you can almost always take a Raise+Cbet line with any two cards from the button. The fold-to-turn-cbet stat hardly ever gets a large enough sample to be useful, but it can draw out some inconsistencies in the opponent's play, like his vulnerability to two-barrelling.
Donks flop raised pot / Folds donk to raise
When multi-tabling different opponents, it's important to know at a moment's notice whether or not the opponent regularly donk bets or rarely donk bets. This stat will lead you to play weak hands in position with more accuracy. Early in a match, tend to raise donk bets religiously in order to get a good sample on the folds-donk-to-raise stat, because a player who donks a majority of his weak hands (and folds them) is ripe for exploitive play.
These are the statistics I regularly check on my pop-up HUD to make decisions:
Folds to 3Bet / Check-raises flop / Aggression factor (indiv. streets) / Bets vs Missed Cbet
Some combination of these factors and whether they are lower or higher than average allow me to decide pretty clearly between good lines while playing 8 tables. I don't use these on my HUD, but I make sure I can access them in the popup menu.
I use these to determine whether my opponents are donking flop, or other streets, with a high percentage.
