It depends on what i knit , if i knit sleeves [ since i knit in one
piece no seams !!!!!, i divide them about evenly , if i knit gloves i
divide 1/2 number [ back ] on 1 dp and the rest on other 2 ,, helps
with remembering where the thumb st are !!!!
When knitting in the round for a long knit i do moove some stit
forward from Dp to dp , to `avoid ` a `mark` of looser st in the
place between 2 needles.
I try to have two pairs of each number so i can knit easier if
needed ,,

I usually cast onto one needle then redistribute the stitches, join,
and start knitting. I like to split the stitches evenly between the
needles. Sometimes there is a repeating pattern that may make sense
using a different distribution to help remember the pattern changes
easier.
