I would recommend translating your military products into a civilian logbook, painful yes, but well worth the time.
I (C-141/C-5 guy) did a percentage of my time after AC upgrade as PIC. If you were a heavy guy, you probably weren't signing for the airplane until after you upgraded. (Not directing this at 130drvr, more for others reading this thread).

As for taxi time, I based it upon each airline's preference. If they allow you to add 0.3 per sortie, that's what I did for them.

How I handled it was, I set up a single sheet with all my hours, broken down as needed for civilian apps. Then, for each airline I interviewed with (both, that is) I had a specific explanation written down and in my possession on interview day for every single number I reported to them. I did not want to be in a position of having to reply "ummmm ..." if they asked how I came up with my XXX numbers.
