I use the First Edition DMG a lot, especially the encounter tables and magic items (I prefer its presentation to 3e's). I like to reference the MM as well.
 


I sometimes use my Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, an invaluable resource. (It covers Basic to Companion boxed sets from Classic D&D).
 

OD&D(1974) boxed set. :D

Supplement I Greyhawk
Supplement II Blackmoor
Supplement III Eldritch Wizardry
Supplement IV God, Demigods & Heroes

Outdoor Survival from Avalon Hill

Chainmail by Perrin & Gygax

The Strategic Review (but i don't use the Bard :p )

and some times i slip Swords & Spells in there...
 



2e monster books for the ecology and description sections. The 3.5 MM is better than the 3e one but still not up to the 2e standards for descriptions.
 

Lots of adventures. Curretnly running X4-X5. Adventures are the easiest products to use in different settings IMO.

When I run Greyhawk I use the 83 Boxed set (currently I only have the ESD unfortunately).

I"d love to run campaigns in some of the other classic settings sometime, particularly Birthright
