I agree! I use almost the same system:
1x2, 1x3 and 2x2 L plates
1x4 - 1x10 plates
2x2 - 2x16 plates
4x X plates, wings, etc.
everything 1x1 (plates and full-hights)
everything with no studs on it
1x2, 1x3 and 2x2 L bricks
1x4 - 1x16 bricks
2x X bricks
minifigs (without helmets, hats, etc.)
minifig accesories (incl. hats, etc.)
wheels and other landinggear (lots of black in that one!)
everything 'living': beasts, trees, flowers, etc
all slopes
all technic pinns, pegs, axles and stuff
large wall pieces (Town Jr stuff)
base- and roadplates
It really helps speed up the buildingproces!

VERY large pieces, like Pirateship hulls...
