How far are you moving? I would also try to move the gear myself if possible. Definitely sensitive stuff like turntables.
If the mover is moving you direct, then letting them move most everything is probably fine. If it is going into storage for a while, I would not let them have any expensive gear. If you are not moving too far, can a friend store your gear at their house until you are ready for it.?
Yes, take lots of pictures and keep invoices with you. You may want to make sure whatever insurance is included in move quote is enough depending on the cost of your system. Basic moving insurance is sometimes based on weight, not value.
Damage is a lot more common than lost/stolen.
