I, like Circuit basher, couldn't get on with the tri fold type. After asking other students and instructors I ended up with the A4 type which I still use.
As for cockpit management, I found a small plastic karabina which went throught the ring binder part of my checklist and on the spring clip of the kneeboard. When not in use it dangles nicely between my legs (Oooh errr Matron) out of the way until needed.
