So my question....for logging IFR approaches with a safety pilot, you have
to put down the date, flight time, location, aircraft number and type,
type of approach, and the name and certificate number of the safety pilot.
I'm assuming an electronic log book is sufficient but is
there any reason I should log these with pen and paper?

I have no paper log book (except when I print a hardcopy). If an entry needs
a signature, I obtain it either via a PDA or tablet, or else on scrap paper
that I then scan.
