A mailing list about GURPS would seem to be the right place to ask
questions about any GURPS-related topic, I should think.

They're all good at what they do.  The question is what you think
you'll need.  I imagine Martial Arts would have the broadest
application.  HT and UT aren't quite the gun catalogs they were in
earlier editions, though they are, to be sure, heavy on weapons.  I
find that I have the least use for Bio-Tech.  It's detailed and
well-written, but I haven't yet found myself in a situation where I
need extended rules on medical care (PCs have needed the medical care,
of course; I just haven't felt the need to resort to extended rules),
genetic engineering, and so on.
