Great thread! I have only put my daylilies in the mixed border, till now just putting them in the beds with the right colour. I have fewer in the area for mauve/ pink, and blues since most daylilies have too much yellow to look good in with the cool pastels. Good combinations are tricky as you need to know the timing of the flowering before you plant them, or else plant the companions once you know. I find daylilies can go anywhere, sun, shade, moist or dry soil, but the ones that come into bud really early in Spring need to be in a sheltered spot as late frosts destroy the flower buds. In my area the dormant varieties do best, and I like them in with early spring bulbs as they sprout up after the bulbs are finished flowering and help hide the dieing foliage of the bulbs later.
