Best ways to hold down work

Think many of us use these clamps. But all depends on the workpiece and what you want to do… if you want to cut outer or inner contour, or if it is a large piece of material with a large contact area (then glue) or if it is a small one…
I usualy screw the workpiece down to the spoilboard if it is possible to drill in a hole on some point (maybe a area which should be cut out later) to cut out the outer contour, and switch to clamps when the inner contour needs to be done.
Or I design some support lands/strips to hold down the piece with the outer material (sure they need to be removed manually afterwards).
