You said you're using your speedlight as fill flash. Will you diffuse it in anyway? Will you use umbrellas, reflectors?

That would depend on what I am doing but if I just have flash on-board camera I will not diffuse but use bounce techniques along with power adjustments, zoom adjustments on TTL. Then many times I will just go with full manual flash.

Off camera I use umbrellas mostly for like portraits.
 
I am with Zaks first post ... 18-200 for everything at F8 use the other bodies for back up and always carry one ... if you use the flash you create shadows so use as little as possible ..sync all the clocks in the cameras to within 2 seconds and lightroom will sort them out into order from the 3 cameas ..forget a tripod ..too slow to use and a pain in the ass to carry

No 1 rule if you cannot get it in your suit pocket(or handbag) forget it ..you dont need it ..no boxes bags tripods flash brollies assistants etc and set yourself a target of 3/4 hr for all photos after the wedding we usually come away with about 900 shots at a simple wedding. I dont believe you can shoot a wedding today with one photographer you need 2 ..one for formal and one for casual and I dont mean a "second shooter" with no experience...
