**I think that base version would be enough.

the extra features in the full version would benefit someone who needs to host Poser files directly in other (high-end) 3D applications, which is not necessary for content creation.  I think that Les has used Poser Fusion a couple of times rendering images out of Maya just for fun. 

The extra render won't do anything if you don't have a network of computer to render on.....

If you don't know if you need Collada, then I would go with you don't.
