Tom, in answer to your question.
I use LR for all my catalogs. I have two catalogs one that is pre-2006 which includes early NEFs, JPGs and scanned images (about 55000 images) and a main/current post-2006 of all my recent images which is about 70000 images.

When I am travelling I shoot and copy my files to a portable hard disk so when I return I then copy them directly back to my main image store drive. I then import these files with their xmp files if I have done any editing, into my main catalog.
Once the images are imported I make sure the metadata are synchronised and then I delete the images off the portable drive.

I keep my LR5 cat file on the image storage drive so any machine can use it.
