Don't leave anything out.

Gutters need to point downhill past the foundation. Then you are all good and can rule them out.

Or ground level, grading must be done if there is a hill above.
There must be a way to divert uphill water flow.
That might include natural springs.
Put in diversion walls and/or channels around the house.
Ditches and pipes and barriers.

"Dripping" should not happen.
