I use the flag with the ball weight tucked into the front of my pants as the primary flag, even when I officiate at all positions. You may need to chuck the flag a long way at any position (the R or U sometimes need to lob a flag in on kick/punt returns). I use a center weight flag as a backup, and if I need call a second penalty. It's happened twice in seven years. The second flag is stuffed all the way into my back pocket.
All crewmembers need to keep track of the down, so get a down indicator. If you are R or U, wear a second down indicator on the other hand, so you can remember where the ball is snapped between the hash marks and return it to the proper spot after an incomplete pass.
