I just looked at the page Geoff suggested and I pretty much do the "third approach" other than I don't give the documents a file number (I haven't used the ID field in Legacy but that is still an option). I have binders for the different types of documents and then I file them alphabetically within the binder. I put labels on the outside of the sheet protector (upper right corner) with all of the info so that I can easily flip through and find what I am looking for (trying to strain your eyes on each documents to find the right one is a bit much, even if they are in alphabetical order).
