That’s probably the best way. Standardise what you can into
USRs without sacrificing flavour (so keep distinctions like this model only gets to use
FNP against psychic powers, but standardise things like the Flyer Hard to Hit rule and streamline the differences in vehicle explosions), then print those
USRs both on the unit’s darasheet, and keep a bank in the back of the
BRB. That way those who like to learn
USRs can do so without having to buy every Codex, those who prefer to do the lookup method have it all on the data sheet, and nobody’s left wondering if there’s a subtle difference they’re missing between Assault Marines and Terminators Deep Striking.
I’d also go a step further and write the name of a
USR in a different text or underlined or something to make it clear that it’s a standard
USR. The real strength of this is that when
GW FAQ/errata a
USR, it’s clear that the change affects both the rule written in the
BRB and the one printed on the data sheet.
