I don't know the correct CRS for the output data, but as a programmer I'd like suggest an approach from different direction:

Everybody should support at least EPSG:4326.

Because then you can overlay anything with anything else, with a simple offset+factor calculation. This would solve our problems immediately.

Having additional projections is a nice plus, though.

I guess this would imply that everyone must support reprojection to a lat/lon grid. In 
Unidata's case we've been trying to see whether WCS can be used for serving 
"raw" data.
