I had a commonplace notebook for a few years. I'm curious about the different setups you mention; I would just fill it in page by page lol.
Anyway. Use a book that you're okay with getting beat up a bit. Like if it's an expensive delicate notebook, you'll end up wanting to "preserve" it and not write in it. Also, the desire for perfectionism is less with a cheaper notebook, which is important if your hand cramps up copying out longer stuff. You might also end up sticking printouts in it, so consider the best type of notebook for that case.
Finally, the best advice I can give is to just stick with it. Start with a slim notebook so you'll have the satisfaction of filling it.
