Just one will do. They are essentially interchangeable when used around Tokyo.

But IC card(s) is NOT discount/unlimted ride pass.
Just no need bringing big money(note) and many coins and calc/paying each trains/buses with transfering.
Also possible to paying most convenience stores and some famous resraurants and more as "e-money".

No best 10d covered pass but some pass may useful depends on your plan.
