Settings sync is the first extension I always install as it allows me to restore my settings AND extensions. It uses GitHub gists to store the config, so you have a slightly annoying setup process initially but once done, each time you change a setting or extension it updates it to the gist. Then when you get a new install, it pulls down the settings and installs all the extensions you had and you can get everything setup really easily and quickly.
