Can the safety versions be carried cocked/locked, half cock or hammer down safely? I was told any of those three methods is fine, just wanted more opinions.

Just be aware, CZ does make some versions without a firing pin block.  They're mostly competition versions, like the SP01 Shadow, but IIRC the Pre-B 75's did not have a FPB and needed to be carried either at half cock or with safety engaged.  Not likely that you have any of those, though.

Standard SP-01 safety.

Exactly, my pre b could go off if dropped the right way theoretically, half cock or cocked and locked is how it was designed to be carried. The new ones (with a few exceptions) are safe for hammer down though I don't personally see a reason to.

The CZ 75 uses an inertial firing pin, meaning the firing pin is too short to touch the hammer and the primer at the same time. It's arguably safer to carry a pre b with the hammer all the way down than at half cock as a failure of the half cock notch could potentially cause a discharge while a blow to the hammer won't. The firing pin block in 75Bs is there to protect against muzzle down drops and sear failures.

Actually. The older pre-b 75's (should also include newer made guns without the FPB) should either be carried cocked and locked. Or hammer all the way down. The old armourers manual even says as much.
http://stevespages.com/pdf/cz_75_armourer_manual.pdf Page 7, scroll down. The older guns, before decockers came along had the half-cocked notch(newer guns do too obviously) This was a "safety notch" For one, if the hammer slipped and you released the trigger. In theory. With the gun without the FPB. If you have a round chambered and the hammer all the way down. Even if you drop the loaded gun on the hammer. There shouldn't be enough force to ignite a primer. But if you had the gun with no FPB, carried at half cock. You drop the gun on the hammer. There could be enough force (in theory) to set the round off. Or dropped it in any position and the hammer dropped.

The half cock notch point is moot on the guns with FPBs. Because the hammer can't set off a round, without the trigger being pulled (again in theory). Plus the decocker guns based of the original design include FPB and were designed to stop on the half-cock notch. Not counting the P07/09 guns.

Of course, it's been mentioned. You bought a standard SP-0I.So carrying it any of the 3 ways is perfectly fine.

Enjoy your new gun. :D
