You may want to project into one or the other of the zones. This is useful
particularly in the case where you want to line up adjacent line or polygon
features (like water courses or land cover) prior to merging them.

You might also want to consider putting everything in a non UTM projection.
But UTM is appropriate for area calculation for example.
