At the end of the day a log book is nothing more than a record of your flights. You could write it on a bit of toilet paper if you really wanted. The fact that there is a ppl log book and a cpl log book available in this country I find ridiculous. A PPL can get an IR and a CPL is little more than a PPL but done to a slightly higher standard so what is the point of having two types of books.
If you want to transfer everything from your PPL log book to your 'CPL' log book I'd do it sooner rather than later as it is a real pain. Otherwise I suggest changing over at a specific momement in your trainning, ie at the start of your IMC rating, at the start of your hour building' the start of your CPL trainning or as someone has mentioned, the start of your first paid job.
What ever log book you choose should be one that ultimately aids you in filling out the CAA's forms when it comes to licence issue etc so theoreticaly that should be the Pooleys JAR FLC log book. I used the old CAA log book and that worked for me. I also made up a template on 'ms Excel' to aid me with the totaling of hours etc. It's a usefull back up if you lose your log book.
