If you're on Mac, OmniGraffle!
http://balsamiq.com/ on the web is good for prototyping as well.
Windows, hmmm .... Vizio???
I usually stick to a fat pen and paper or whiteboard. When I'm done, I scan each page or take photos of sections of the whiteboard and then load them up as a presentation in Google Docs (easy to share with partners).
No losing papers or accidental erasures there!
