My advice...HOARD EVERYTHING!!! Here's why:
1) The more raw materials you have, the less hunting you have to do for them later.
2) The more variety in materials you have, the more choices you'll have for crafted item later.
3) Especially hoard the rare stuff, even if you don't think you'll need it, because someone will.
4) The materials you don't use/need later in the game can easily be turned to gold, which you'll also need when you're having an item crafted...
5) Highly sought after items fetch a pretty bit o' coin in the right places...dye, for example, worth only one gp in Old Ascelon, but after the searing in Lion's Arch...whoo-hoo! 300-400 gold at the trader! I save 'em.
Here's the sacrifice you make doing this...you have to manage your inventory very well, or you will find yourself holding up the group while trying to figure out which item to salvage after a tasty drop.
This keeps you, though, from holding on to useless weapons you never really use, gives you quick armor options and liquifiable assets any time...If I sound like I farm/pharm...yup...I do. A tip: (pre-sear)Trade worn belts an skale fins for pouches and save a few...you will always find a buyer...at the very least, a few gold from the local merchant...If Knowledge is power, gold is lubrication
