You can use all of them in P4. They take more memory and processing than the Dork and Posette, but it's worth it. V3 is the coming thing, but there's a lot more out there for V2 right now. She's also cheaper to start with, since she comes with all the morphs built in. With V3, you need to get the morph packages (sold seperatly) to get the same (actually better) effects. As a newbie though, I'd start with V2. Mike is Mike right now. Although M3 will be out sometime this year (I'm betting June), the same situation is likely to occur with him. Get Mike 2. There's tons of free cloths and textures for both V2 and M2, so you can ease into them at a lot less cost. Of course, I've been rabid about Poser for a year, and I've got them all, as well as every morph package I could find for Mike (I work mostly in male characters). If you get drawn into Poser, you'd better keep the charge card on ice. Every once in a while, there's a boom of new stuff (not right now) that you'll HAVE to get. ..sigh.. Why can't it happen when I've got money? Welcome to the club! Post lots of pics. Make lots of comments. Have lots of fun.
