I agree with Valandar and the others in favor of ERC-type joints. DAZ' VersaHair (which was my first experience of this sort of complexity) is fantastic for control, although I've never counted the joints. Frankly, I found it daunting at first, and was very grateful for the canned poses included with the set (a friendly hint...oops, ladynimue already said that.) I think it's clear that "realism" is a hot item in the Poser community at this point. Without knowing more, 300 sounds like a bit much to me, but maybe around 100 would be cool. Best of luck with this item!
