Guess there is no 'One Good Way' going about this. The simplicity in using paper and pen or a white board for chalking out initial details probably help by freeing up more of your concentration on the ideation itself. While the computer offers several extra add-ons to make the process faster, the learning curve is one bottle-neck to overcome, before seamlessly ingesting it into a brain storming session. My previous company team had 'Simple Rules' on our thinking cap, with lots of print-boards, and that really did help out... so much that its a proven process that I am so comfortable with. There are times when much more information would be required, and may include some bit of radical processing, like arranging thoughts based on labels and that sort. Maybe one of these tools will efficiently jump in here. Wireframes require some bit of correction, and as more widgets, controls and options jump in, ample room of changes should be available right from the word go. While using paper, ensure you have lots of free space all around, and fitting in the no-so-obvious additions shoudl take off with ease. Sometimes, you can also use a lot of stickies, for options and such, so that re-arranging them is not a pain in the...! Using a white board does seem to have the simple option of erasing and re-writing stuff, but watch out for signs of laziness that may just about let you accept a fault because you are too bored to erase and write a lot of stuff again :)
