=== why do the latest XDS/XSCALE versions only give a single table, with I/sigma>=-3 cutoff? ===
This was changed in the May 2010 version, and there is no keyword to get the old version of the tables back.
The reason why this has been changed is that only the Signal/noise>=-3 table is meaningful because it describes the data in XDS_ASCII.HKL . These data are used "downstream" for conversion to amplitudes (XDSCONV and TRUNCATE implement French G.S. and Wilson K.S. Acta. Cryst. (1978), A34, 517.), structure solution, and refinement.
If only the positive intensities were output to XDS_ASCII.HKL then this would lead to wrong average intensities at high resolution, wrong conversion to amplitudes, wrong Wilson B factors, and ultimately to worse models.
Consequently just these data are described in CORRECT.LP . These are also the numbers that should go into "Table 1" of your paper. By the way, SCALA and SCALEPACK also do it that way AFAIK.
