We use it all the time (we've automated it in Plum), and we've built customized Lucene systems as well, so we're very familiar with full text indexing.
You can create a single collection contains both File and Path index entries, but that collection cannot also contain Custom index entries. This is because while both File and Path index entries are based on disk files as indexing targets, Custom index entries are based on database content as an indexing target, so the configuration of Custom entries cannot coexist in the same collection. You can, however, search multiple collections at the same time by specifying them as a comma-delimited list in the CFSEARCH tag call. You're going to run into an issue with static content residing in your .cfm pages. The documentation suggests that you can index these, and you can, but you'll get back code in your search results. You have two choices here: use Verity's Vspider utility (complicated) or use a content management system that stores your content in a database, use a Custom index collection for that content, and then just retrieve and display the content on your ..cfm pages (easy). This is what we do with Plum. Best of luck with it all. If you run into real problems then feel free to give me a call at 770-446-8866.
