Woah, hey! I'm always happy to talk about my PHB tabs :) Here's a quick breakdown behind my mentality of it and then my execution and some cons of tabbing:
Why?
From a new player's perspective (or someone who likes to loan their PHB to those who are new), the PHB can be pretty daunting to pick up and use as a tool at the table. The sections are huge, and the only way to tell that you're in one section versus another is some very light text on the bottom page corners with some (lacking) color-coding that doesn't correlate to the Contents page -- and the sub-sections aren't given any different kind of treatment so it all kinda blends together. I don't expect most people to read it front-to-back either, so needing to reference something quickly can be difficult if you don't have the muscle-memory down.
Additionally, there are quite a few pieces of information I need to look up with some regularity that aren't part of the Contents and aren't indexed well, so I needed a way to pick them out specifically and quickly with some kind of tactile solution.
How?
So I decided to just tab all of the subsections, then the smaller topics -- the sections themselves are already too large to bother putting an extra tab in for, and I can just use the color-coding in the bottom corner if I manage to get lost. I use vertical Post-It tabs for the subsections, and horizontal Post-it arrow tabs for the topics that match in color to the vertical subsection tabs (not only is it useful, it makes it look beaauuutiful!). It took me a weekend to do, but I didn't have a super well-planned tab structure in mind so there was a lot of redoing that took up extra time.

My PHB Tab Breakdown
---
Obviously each PHB is unique to its owner, and any tabbing will reflect that; in this exercise I've already discovered tabs I never have needed to use, and there are whole sections I omit because it's not commonly needed for the games I play in/run. I do think that having alphabetized spell tabs has been the BIGGEST time saver out of everything, closely followed by the Classes tabs, so you may want to start there -- though that could lead to tabs not lining up nicely, so if aesthetics are important, just plan out your tab structure in advance then go for it!
Cons
There's only a couple issues I've run into. One is that the tabs that stick out way further still have sticky backs to them and sometimes they get stuck to the other tabs or my arm/sleeves. So far all the tabs have stayed on really well, but it can be a little annoying to peel them off each other.
The other issue is that I have to be really careful with how I store my PHB now; I can't toss it into a drawer or with the tabs facing a surface it'll smash into, since I'm worried it'll mess them up. It's survived like this for at least a year now, so while it's not really inconvenient I just have to keep it in mind.

Edit: Wow, thank you for the gp! No idea what it does but I'll figure it out ♥
Personally, I use the Five Star Flex 1.5" binders (https://www.amazon.com/Five-Star-NoteBinder-1-5-Inch-Capacity/dp/B00XLUNETA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1483485208&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=five+star+flex+1.5+inch). They are flexible (so you are not stuck with a rigid binder), which makes it great for studying (I can flip the the front part of the binder under the rest of it for studying, this tends to break normal binders). I am in a very intensive science program, so I have a lot of notes.
In your case I would get 3 binders and put 2 courses in each one.
Have a single divider at the beginning of each binder and another divider that goes behind the last course (for a total of 3 dividers) and label each one with the title of the course and leave the last one blank. Behind this last divider I put some lined loose-leaf paper. If the prof provides lecture notes, the automatically go into their respective spot in order in the binder and I immediately use one of these sticky notes (https://www.amazon.com/Post-1-Inch-Yellow-Dispenser-686-ALYR1IN/dp/B00HNW7E84/ref=sr_1_4?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1483485771&sr=1-4&keywords=sticky+notes+for+binders). on the side of the I pick one colour for lecture notes, one colour for lab notes and one colour for tutorial notes and keep it consistent across all of my binders. If it is my first RARA lecture during the first week I write "RARA W1L1".
This system works well for me because I find I am more organized then before (I have done the whole one binder per course and also the notebook method) and my fellow students in my new program say I am the most organized. I used to lose lectures/paper etc all the time because I never wanted to lug binders with me, but these are so much lighter and bendable, so they are much easier to deal with
