Scalable Subnet Patterns

Below are some examples of scalable methods I have developed on my own. They do however require editing when moving between regions to account for zone # differences, and search/replacing the second octet of subnets in order to move between regions or create a staging environment.

IE. us-east-1 = 10.1.0.0, us-west-1 = 10.2.0.0, etc..

Is this a case for using the new conditionals and simply having logic on almost every element of my subnet template or do you have any better suggestions?

I make subnets in 'triplets' due to HEAVY use of ASG for 1:1 single instance uptime use as well as true ASG responsive groups in addition to AWS Internal services like ElastiCache, ELB, RDS when used inside of a VPC.
