I play a D/G instrument. I like to use a capo on the g drones to give me an a for A Dorian, which crops up regularly. A capo for e on my d drone is also very helpful. I use simple homemade wedges: they work fine, but tend to drift. They main thing is that a capo should not move the string away from its ideal situation at the wheel.
