Wet notes usually. However for open water rec dives I like to use a Dive Rite wrist slate that I customized to it my arm better and attached a compass to. That way I can easily set white balance.

I just bought one of these. Seems to work out all right so far. Instead of putting it on my wrist I put it around my cumberbund on my BC.

A wrist slate is hard to pass off or set at a viewing angle for your buddy. If you use wrist gauges, then you don't have much room for a wrist slate.
The only time I've ever found a likable use for it was when I was leading refresher sessions or basic pool sessions. Held down notes very easily and at a quick glance.
My go to wrist slate was the 5-page, bungee held version (not the O-ring version). The bungee version held together in current and regular abuse much better. The O-ring version had to be repaired with new O-rings every so often, and it flapped open a lot.
After getting wrist gauges I moved onto a standard small slate and wetnotes. Depending on the dive I'd take one or the other. Both are stored in my pocket. IF I'm taking photos, I usually sport my slate, clipped off to a D-Ring, and use it as a white balance.

I'll offer up a bit of the same advice with a little twist.
For deco diving, I use a Bottom timer and tables......when I was on my course, one of the other divers has a great suggestion and I have switched to it.....or I guess added it in.
have you ever watched football and seen the QB have that thing on his arm with the clear plastic cover and all his plays in it.....well that fits perfect on the forearm above the compass and this is where I put my dive plan and deco schedule on a wetnote sheet.

For everything else I have wetnotes in my buttplate bag.
