I also always hand carry regulator and instruments (analog gauges and / or computer).
As for my dive lights, photography and video housings - 1) never, never, never store them with batteries in place (you know why now), 2) never, never, never store them with o-rings in place ( you know of one reason now, the other being that the o-ring will get a flat spot from the pressure and have a tendency to leak under water). For internal o-rings in computers, cameras and dive watches, always follow the manufacturer's recommended replacement cycle.
