I've got OS Explorer maps for the Peaks, Lakes, Dartmoor and Brecon Beacons, with some other areas as well; a number of Pathfinder maps, Some Harvey maps (lakes, and Beacons again - they are clearer under torchlight than os maps) and some 1:250000 road maps of Scotland and the north of England. I also have the whole of the UK and NI in 1:50k on Quo
I also have a few austrian mountain maps (printed by Kompass and not a patch on OS maps)
My standard approach to long rides is to print out a map on Quo and put it in a bag in my back pocket, and then carry the track on a GPS. The track is fine to follow, but the map is useful for knowing where I am and changing plans if needed. Being able to read maps is a skill that I think would benefit a lot of people.
