I got 'em all: Warman's for my state/territory quarters (one hole per state), Whitman for my ATB Quarters, Harris for my silver Roosevelt dimes, and a Dansco for my Ike dollars. And 2x2 clear binder pages for my Kennedy halves, Sacs, SBAs, and type set.

Very few serious collectors use Folders. And if you even use Google and type in coin Albums, you'ld find many different brands and some really cheap.

I use the folders for my CRH so I have a nice lay-out of what I am working on. Then when the set is complete I transfer to a Dansco.

I collect circulated for my BU coins, and buy the proofs. I like the mix of perfect and used in the same collection, and it is a little less expensive.

Same here.

I have always preferred to pull my business strikes from circulation. I have no problem keeping those alongside my proof coins in the Dansco albums.

I am using an Eagle proof set binder, and will likely do the same for my OGP encapsulated coins.

As others have said, it depends on the coin.

I greatly prefer CAPS albums. However, because of the prohibitive cost, I only have 2 so far.

My next favorite is Dansco. All the reasons everyone else loves them.

Whitman are okay, I have one. I have one Intercept and I like it very much also.

One use for folders is to keep a "2nd" collection where your "1st" collection is an album and where you keep your better coins.

I keep my folders in a relatively easy place to find and the albums in a hard place to find so if I experience a break-in, the burglars take my less valuable stuff.

The main reason I am posting here is that I am wondering if anyone fills their albums with the reverse facing the front for some coins?

For the Philadelphia coins, the obverse faces out, but for the mintmarked coins, I reverse them and show the back. When looking at the other side, it also helps identify what year I'm looking at.

Am I alone in doing this?

I always have the DATES facing the front of albums/binders. For my USA coins, this most often means the obverse is up, with the newer quarters (State & ATB) the rare exceptions. Also, the SAC & Prez dollars are shown with the obverse (faces) up, since the dates are on the edges.
Most of my Canadian coins, however, are shown with the reverse side up, since most of the dates are on them there. Every so often, dates are inserted on the obverse side of Canadian coins, so I flip them when that happens.

I typically have the obverse, but where the coin has multiple of the same year (such as the State Quarter-- 1 P, 1 D, 1 S clad, 1 S silver), I will frequently show the reverse using the S Silver coin. So it will be 3 obverses and 1 reverse, going across. Or if $1, two obverse and 1 one reverse (the proof). Etc.
