At least to me, the beauty pass should be what you start with, and the lighting should (ideally) be accurate enough to your plate that what you're actually doing is sweetening and integrating. The idea is not to rebuild the rendered image, but to use the component passes subtractively and then additively to do things like glint the highlights in the spec pass or maybe adjust the diffuse color. Or maybe you want to save your lighter some trouble and kick up the fill light using an RGB light pass. You might even want to do things like pull a key off of the diffuse or surface color pass and use that as a matte to grade your beauty render. If you're ripping your component passes apart so much, it almost seems like your goal really isn't to match the beauty, or you would have used the beauty in the first place. Again, there are a few different approaches to this sort of thing. Good luck!
