Depends on your audience requirements (and the limitations of the binding
process).
I've worked on RFPs that stated specifically the binding specs (plastic comb
bound in 8-1/2 x 11 format). For hard copy style guides (7 x 9), I typically
use plastic or spiral binding because the document is more usable (again,
with my audience) if it can lie flat on the desk by itself, without the help
of a stapler, multimedia speaker, or water bottle holding it down. Same with
lab procedures documentation. Most users of such information need both hands
free to work with equipment.
