I very much prefer socket rails, with springy clip things, for sockets
that I carry around.  It makes it very easy to grab the 3/8" drive
standard set, and know I've got a complete set.  It's also easy to
make sure that you've got the whole set when you're done.  I've also
got the magnetic things.  They stay in the tool box, I dont' think
they hold sockets well enough.  I've also got a peg thing in one the
socket drawers, which works okay for stuff that stays in the drawer,
but they're very space inefficient.
