Personally I would just keep most of that stuff banked until needed. I honestly don't get why there's such an emphasis on resist gear for raiding too. Wouldn't it be more important to cap the damage stats like Str, Dex, and max HP via Sta? You can't do that with buffs alone.
If anything, I would try to build a universal gear set that has both stats and resists.

Most characters use 8 slot bags, because most 10 slot bags are either expensive (Tink Bags), or have low weight reduction (hand crafted backpacks). Everything else that is good is lore. This means most characters have mostly 8 slot bags. This means a normal character has 64 slots, by default. Lets say that character has a Box of Nil Space, and a Large Soiled bag, for a total of 68 slots. This would be the most common scenario.
If you are a Ranger with a Tiny Coin Purse, and a Fleeting quiver, you have lost potentially 12 slots a worst, 8 slots at best. So you go down to 60 slots at best. If you use the quiver for it's purpose (holding arrows), you lose an additional 6 slots. This brings you down to 54 slots total, with just arrows.
Bringing resistance gear while soloing is important on Melees. It allows you to fight casters you would otherwise be unable to fight. Clickies are nice, for extra buffs and saving spell gems. They save mana, and can sometimes even give you a spell you don't normally have.
It is convenient to bring keys with you, so you don't have to run to the bank every time you want to group in a specific dungeon. This is especially true if a bank is far away from the zone you want to visit.
You can easily use up 40 slots for this kind of gear even when soloing, as my SK does. Even if you get that down to 30, you only have 24-20 slots left over after the calculations above. I am constantly running out of bag space when fighting monsters that drop gems and jewelry, for example. When I kill Goos in Wakening Land on my SK, I need to go sell every few hours, with 24 slots available.
