in such case I think it makes more sense to not give the item effect ability to the item, but add/remove it via triggers:

• detect when unit acquires item
• check if unit already has same type of bonus given by another item
• if yes, determine which bonus is better, remove the worse one, add/keep the better one

Similar situation when unit drops item

• detect when unit loses an item
• remove bonus
• check if unit also carries item that would give it same type of bonus, just worse version
• if yes, add bonus from other item(s)
