I am putting boxes/panels on 3 walls in the live room, what inputs should I put in them? I was thinking 10 Mic,4 instrument and 4 headphone. Thanks, Clifford.

Well, you need to think very carefully through what your needs are now, and what you expect they might be in future, and then add more than that, because somehow there's never enough of anything.
How many instruments will you ever be recording at one time? How many mics? How many players needing headphones? Are the "4 headphone" outputs cue lines for downstream boxes (Furman, etc.) or are they to plug phones directly into? Will you ever be wanting to have an amp cab in the studio whilst the head is in the CR, thereby necessitating a hi-Q spkr line or 2? Will you ever need special lines for running "odd" temporary equipment, such as a drum throne thumper? Will you ever want speaker playback into the studio rather than headphones? Any extra tie-lines you can think of? Do you expect the Nassau Symphony at any point, with 100 chairs full of out-of-tune screeching?
There's a lot to imagine here.
