As to IBL versus EnvSphere, they're actually the same thing. Poser 8 deals with IBL differently when IDL is enabled. Effectively, the IBL image is mapped onto a giant sphere that surrounds your scene.

The only difference really is this: what do you have? If you have an equirectangular image, then use the EnvSphere, because it will provide matching lighting and scenery. If you only have an angular map image (IBL light probe style) and no scenery, then skip the EnvSphere and just use the IBL.

Good info there! I was actually doing some tests to determine what was the difference between the two (env sphere and ibl) when using IL :)
