I agree in that is doesn't really matter what you record your hours in. If I was starting my flying all over again I would choose the big black Jepp book. They have one for JAA and one for FAA. What ever regs you do your PPL under won't matter and it can be recorded in either logbook. I am still using a CASA(Australian) issued logbook for jaunts around Europe. Point of interest, I have never been asked for my logbook by an employer, they were only ever interested in my licence/medical. Authorities, both the IAA and the CAA have asked to see a record of flying hours and when I presented my Aussie paperwork they comment was along the lines of 'ahh, haven't seen one of those in a while'.
For what it is worth, use the same color ink for all entries..!
