what do you consider canon when dealing with long running series/characters with multiple authors and retcons?

Everything. It's all canon. Are there contradictions? Sometimes. But life has contradictions too. Things are messy, people don't remember things correctly, different people have different takes on events. It's fine. It's all canon.

I pick and choose the things I like as long as they don't inherently contradict each other and make my own derivative headcanon.

Not on a cosmic level. George Washington died in 1799. That’s not going to factually change because it contradicts a story someone wants to tell or because someone simply forgot.

That’s another reason I hate the Star Wars fandom. Something doesn’t add up? Just say the narrator forgot. It works on a meta level to, because most canon issues stem from the writer forgetting.

This is basically what I tend to do, take my favorite bits an pieces an blend them all up into a version of the characters and timeline that best suits my taste

Nothing is canon. Just enjoy stories as long as they are good.

It's only canon if it's good.

The most relevant for the current run (provided it's a good run)

Not something like Wolverine genetic test straight up stating that he's not a mutant.
