The LEs cover virtually all the Hellboy material thus far, thankfully. As far as BPRD goes, the HCs collect everything but Secret Origins (1946-1948) and the following trades: Being Human, Witchfinder, Lobster Johnson and Abe Sapien (which is now an on-going). I think that just about covers it. There is also the recently released Sledgehamer '44 based in the same universe, that deals with Mignola's take on an Ironman of sorts. It's only one issue, though, and I wouldn't worry about it too much as far as Hellboy/BPRD continuity goes. Hope that helps!

Plague of Frogs Omnibuses Vols. 1-4 and the Hellboy Oversized Library Vols. 1-6 are very satisfying presentations of this material, probably a better value than the individual trades above, assuming of course someone is willing to shell out $30-$50 on a big book. And while it may not be part of the same universe (I can't remember if it is or not), it's hard to imagine someone enjoying Hellboy, BPRD or Witchfinder and not enjoying Baltimore as well.
