To answer the OP specifically:
- I use them all as if they were one. If something's missing from a later one, it's covered. If detail is better in an earlier one, use it.
- I don't make a list—too much work. I just look over the PCs' starting equipment and make appropriate corrections/suggestions as needed. After the start, they only get what the GM makes available, so it doesn't matter as much.
- Just like using Low-Tech with High-Tech, we end up using High-Tech with Ultra-Tech. Pretty rare to use all three, but it's possible, I suppose.
- We all use GCA, so most of the time, the player doesn't even know what book whatever-it-is came from.
