Ditto, I make them Perks if the equipment can be easily picked by anyone.

I don't think there is a right way to do it. Not if you're going to stay generic-universal.

Well... there is a "generic and universal" way, it's to charge character points for all gear always... which leads to character point bloat ridiculousness.
But I agree, that might not be the "right" way.
