They're all used together. You literally have to know all the systems to read a newspaper.
Fortunately, you can get by knowing about... 800 Kanji. You don't HAVE to know all 2,000 XD .
Best to start with Katakana, though, if you're going on vacation; you'd survive just knowing Katakana because they write all their loanwords with that, and us westerners can usually recognize those loanwords for what they mean.
If you want to learn the language, start with Hiragana. (ed) And I say this because Hiragana is their grammar marker. Every kanji is proceeded by a hiragana to show either the conjugation of the verb or the role of the given word in the sentence (subject, object, locative, etc).
Also, if you're trying to learn the language, start Kanji concurrently with Hiragana. It'll save you a lot of time.
