I've used both and I rate them about the same. Though note I'm less than an animation featherweight. Their interfaces are different but nothing I couldn't understand/translate... eg Poser has the animation pallete+graph and walk designer, DS has Puppeteer http://www.daz3d.com/i/software/daz_studio3/popup?s=features&p=puppeteer.php and/or you could add 3rd party aniMate and aniMate Plus. A bit apples and oranges but I like both shrug Depends on how ingrained you are in the Poser animation tools...

I have not had those wierd effects you mentioned happen in Poser 7. My animations aren't huge though. http://aprilsvanity.com/video/index.php earlier two are Poser, more recent DS. 

If I were you (and had time) I'd try to to isolate the problem causing those wierd effects ... all apps have their "quirks" and you'll just be swapping one set for another lol  ... Unless you had other reasons or just had time on your hands to get into DS.  As I said, I like both!  :)
