Well, as it turns out I'm about to get Poser5 as a gift! So I think that I'm going to go with that. I found DAZ to be less than user friendly, especially to a newbie like me. I played with the Poser Pro demo today and had made up my mind that P5 was the way to go for me, and then found out thata friend had gotten it for his wife who's a grafic artists but she'd gone out and bought it herself. So.. That's my belated b-day present! 8)~ Thank you all for the attempt at trying to help my clueless self out. I really appreciate it.
