To confirm some of what baby_jessica75 said, and hopefully add something as well...
1) What is best is what works best for you. Try out different things. It all depends on context, i.e. how your mind works. While going from one file straight into another may help you to maintain trance, a sudden change in voices or sounds may distract you and/or break the trance. Or it may not. Waking up and then trying to trance again straight away may be harder work for you, or it may be easier. The only way to tell for sure is to try it and see and even if something doesn't work now, it may work later on when you have had more experience of trance.
2) Some people can go into trance the first time they try, others have to try many times before going under. But it does get easier with experience - it is something you learn how to do. It took me 4 years of trying before I went under, but now I can go half way just by closing my eyes and clearing my mind without any suggestions at all. Some suggestions will be harder to accept than others for you. Basicly you know you're deep enough when you feel the suggestions taking effect. But some suggestions will work well with your mind and take effect quickly, some may never work at all. I find that the best policy is to enjoy the trance and simply to be aware that the suggestions may be taking effect.
3) Well, obviously we can only give the most general advice on this... I'd say that baby_jessica75 has it about right.
The tricky thing is that the best person to answer these questions is you... but I hope we have been of some help :)
