I use the wooden slats because I nearly always use continental bobbins. The wooden slats are great for stacking piles of continental bobbins out of the way for a Flanders piece, for instance. They aren't so good for transporting the pillow safely. For that purpose the crochetted strips work better, of just a long ribbon and lots of corsage pins.
I think the kind of bobbin-keeper-in-order-thingy that works best depends on whether you use continentals or midlands bobbins.
