Unaffiliated voters that vote D... Which ballot to pick for primary? [View all]

Asking for myself, and hopefully a few friends here too.

If one is already registered unaffiliated (as I am, on purpose) what ballot should I pick? Does it depend on county? Should I pick a Republicant ballot and vote for the primary candidates that I feel a Democratic nominee would have a chance against in the general ? Or should I just take a Democratic ballot and vote for the best D candidates I can find?

No matter what ballot I pick, who should I vote for if I pick the R ballot, and who to vote for on the D ballot?

Needless to say I'll vote D in the general.

On another point - has the NC Democratic Party fielded candidates in every seat this time? Same for local parties? Even if it's a "paper candidate"? If I get a ballot and it's an unopposed R I'd rather write in "Monster Raving Loony Party" cos they make more sense than any Republican I know as of late.
