I typically like to catalogue by value, but I'm not sure whether doing so by cancellation, or print, would better for that purpose.
For the stamps shown, all with insignificant value, the differences would not amount to much more than $0.02 +/- in a real transaction. None of the cancels have an effect on the "used catalogue value" except of course the precancel which is considered used and a less desirable than an actually cancelled stamp thus sells at a discount from the used price.
You should refer to a Scott US Specialized Catalogue, Introduction, Scott Numbering Practices and Special Notices, Understanding valuing notations.
