Organizing is definately subject to personal preferance, but I'll tell you my preferences.

If you have a lot of files, you want Band-in-a-Box to index them so they will be searchable. If you have hundreds or thousands of files the indexing will take a long time, therefore my first two suggestions are about having sub-folders.

I keep my BIAB songs outside of the BB folder, in C:\BB Songs. That way the indexing does not go through the hundreds of files in the BB folder. I don't want the style samples in my song list.

I do not keep any song files directly in by BB Songs folder--they are all in sub-folders. I keep a lot of the folders from the extracted zip files. I know files in those folders will need work, such as choosing new styles or new instruments, or other editing.

I have folders for letters of the alphabet, folders for different fake books, folders for different bands I'm in, folders for upcoming gigs I'm practicing for.

I use the BIAB file utility for renaming the downloaded files to long file names based on the titles of the songs.(File > File Utilities > Auto rename song files to long file names.

I use the "song" button to search for songs. That is where the indexing I was talking about comes in. When you open a folder that has been changed, BIAB will want to build a song list. Once the list is built, you can filter the list by search terms in any field, and you can search for songs in any of the multiple subfolders that you may have.
