Japanese expression spelling doubt

/lang/, can you clear me up something about the Japanese language? The expression that is romanized "dame da", is there any proper way of spelling it? I've seen it with a mix of katakana and hiragana (ダメだ), solely hiragana (だめだ), mix of katakana with kanji (ダメ出) and solely kanji (駄目出). If I want to use kanji, what would be the correct way to do so? Are there any specific rules in this case that determine which spelling should be used?

The differences are almost the inherent differences between the alphabets themselves. You're more likely to see 駄目 in novels, fiction, and academic works. ダメ is the most common, used in everyday writing. だめ is slightly more rare but can be seen.
