There's not really a right or wrong answer to "looking after" all of the assets which make up a project, but the need for a decent asset management strategy, especially when using double system sound is very important. Students often run into problems when moving from one edit suite / studio to another, and often leave some of their files behind. I have therefore created a basic flow chart which discusses a solution (not THE solution) to help make asset management easier.
This video http://www.vimeo.com/14840608 which I thought was excellent, runs through some really useful methods; my flow chart is attached here too, with a couple of extra stages added if necessary, such as setting up the scratch disc and exporting to ProTools for further sound editing .... (please click on the picture to open it and so that you can read it properly).
The flow chart (and video) makes use of Final Cut's MERGE CLIP feature when using double system sound and this has been discussed and demonstrated on this Blog previously. Equally, PLURALEYES could be used for the automatic sync'ing of clips if a clapperboard of some kind of sync point was not used......
