.I don't use any of them and I've never had any problems.
Stop being so paranoid
I have Adblock Plus, but i just find firefox so irritating with NoScript installed - seems so intrusive, plus sometimes i dont know which scripts are safe and would prefer to just leave it to fate
I tend to deny everything apart from the script from the website. If I have problems I enable 3rd party scripts 1 by 1. I only use it on my PC as it annoyed my family when I put it on the laptop and family desktop.

It's not a matter of paranoia, I just find that Firefox lets me get in the drivers' seat and be in control of the browser. Admittedly NoScript is a bit extreme but just for kicks I suggest you try out Adblock Plus and see how you like it. You'll forget that ads were even there. It even speeds up page loading times a bit, especially on older machines, since you don't have to download or render ads you were going to ignore anyway.I don't use any of them and I've never had any problems.

I use Flashblock on my machine at work because it's a bit ancient and nasty Flash ads and pages have the tendency of slowing the browser down. I set it to let the desired sites through (YTMND, YouTube, CNN, etc.), and place buttons on the rest of pages. If I want to see a flash feature I click the button.
