I had a good friend, who had a friend that just interviewed with a Cartel out of S.A. According to my buddy, they will not even consider right seat time in a B-200. They don't care if its under 135 and in the ops specs. What in the hell is going on? Even the damn drug cartels are tightening up the belt.

If you are relying on a US FAA approved OPSPEC to justify right-seat time in a single-pilot airplane, you may have issues outside the US where they may simply not understand the complexities of logging SIC under an OPSPEC, or they may consider it invalid if that is not commonly done in their country or under ICAO rules.

What logbook do I choose the simple jeppesen logbook (some says student logbook) or the professional one? I mean, the simple logbook is smaller but do not have section landing (day/night). How can a log day and night landings and day and night flights in that logbook? It also does not have the section insert the year in page. Just my signature in each page to prove flight hours flown?

LogTen for the win.
You don't yet need the fully buffed out Pro version, so you can save some $ until you to.
The ability to quickly log complex flights, create custom categories to start tracking things you're going to start caring about (SIC time, turbine time, etc), and real-time totaling in your categories, is a complete game-changer in a world where knowing and reporting your times is a big deal for the next job.
Periodically print out and store a paper log if you want to keep an extant copy comewhere as a backup.

You can write what you need in the margins or create columns in your existing logbook, or start a new one. I like the Jeppesen logbook. It will last a long time. The big Sporty's log is good, too. Presently, I use the Jepp logbook. It has a few extra spaces, and a few more can be made, for things that you may want to track, like time in type, or a particular kind of flying (aerobatic, tailwheel, utility, etc) for insurance or other reasons.
Whatever you choose, get a small document safe that will protect the log(s) under most forseeable circumstances (fire, etc). If you go with a computerized log, back it up, and it's a good idea to keep printed copies.
