Welcome to TeX.SE! How aboutrenewcommandarraystretch1.57? I'd also like to encourage you to be a bit more specific, i.e. to tell us what you wish to achieve. Otherwise there is a danger that this question could be closed as "primarly opinion based".

The booktabs package (and documentation) has some strongly held opinions about making tables pretty. #1 is no vertical lines. But I do agree with marmot that it's not clear what you want to achieve.

- Use
topruleandbottomrulefrombooktabsat the beginning and end of your table - Remove rules among columns and rows except the first one
- Use
tabularxwith typeXcolumn instead oftabular(it is better since you force columns with similar contents to be of equal size, at least in my opinion) - Stretch your array
renewcommandarraystretch1.5 - Use 'tab' to indent nested contents (this is to make debugging and revisions easier)

A workaround in tabu, an extension of tabularx; the most important thing to better presentations for fractions in math is to preserve the size of the numbers for this reason you must use dfrac instead frac; in the MWE some colors and rules modifications with tabu.

I use array to simplify the input (no $ necessary except around the array). With addlinespace we can easily separate the lines. With a larger value of arraycolsep we better separate the columns for ease of reading in this particular case.

A workaround in tabu, an extension of tabularx; the most important thing to better presentations for fractions in math is to preserve the size of the numbers for this reason you must use dfrac instead frac; in the MWE some colors and rules modifications with tabu.

Welcome to TeX.SE! How about
renewcommandarraystretch1.57? I'd also like to encourage you to be a bit more specific, i.e. to tell us what you wish to achieve. Otherwise there is a danger that this question could be closed as "primarly opinion based".– marmot

The booktabs package (and documentation) has some strongly held opinions about making tables pretty. #1 is no vertical lines. But I do agree with marmot that it's not clear what you want to achieve.

That helps! Thank you, @marmot.
