If you can use all of them. Including the old manuals. Most are on the internet and not hard to find.
The Lyman 49 is my favorite although I also have the Lyman Pistol & Revolver Handook along with my Sierra, Lee, Accurate Smokeless Powder book and a number of manufacturers downloads from the web. I also have a number of old manuals for reference. They really pushed the envelope in the old days, todays manuals have much lighter loads in them.
I've read them all from cover to cover and learned a lot of little things what were important.
Finding a good load is one thing, then I use a chronograph to test them for speed which is never exactly what the manual says. I also test everything for accuracy.

Skeptical here. Got any links? I think you really have to buy the book, if Speer, Nosler, Hornady, Lyman, et al. Powder companies though do publish their data on their websites.
Nosler post their data online (http://www.nosler.com/load-data) and the Sierra ballistic technicians (http://www.sierrabullets.com/ask-sierra/talk-to-a-tech/) will send individual pages/calibers out of their guide if you email them. I haven't found any source for Hornady except the manual or ebook.
