I use ahnentafel and have stuck with it, after, like Phoenix, abandoning many other systems. I use letters too. It makes sense (to me) but I admit to needing a crib sheet for any but the most obvious. My complete tree is handwritten because I have never found a completely satisfactory way of putting all the information on line, so everything is in neat folders (haha) in ahnentafel order.
