I don't think it's terribly difficult to swap between different distributions. A bit odd at first though.
I've used DAPs, Oz Jepps, USA's homegrown things (can't think what they're called. NOA?) & UK's Aerads.
Of them all, I prefer the DAPs & NOA's method of binding ie a flip over top hinge. I detest the Jepp's & Aerad's binder. Both are similar.
My favourite organisations of plates is the old Oz TMA & IAL distribution.
Aerad's are my least favourite in terms of information displayed on the plate. Until relatively recently they didn't put the MDA/DH on the plate. You had to turn to another page to find it. Even that was a relatively new idea and previously you had to calculate the minimum yourself.
