So the Daz Studio scaling will work sorta like universal for clothes too? Now thats interesting, I have not worked with clothes much yet in Poser, a bit, and they do have to be adjusted for scaling differently than the figure to get a perfect fit. That would be a plus if you did not have to do that.

No, you still have to tweak and adjust each JP so that it bends properly around the underlying figure. It's actually a bit trickier, and to me it appears to be more time consuming to do it in clothing then then on a figure itself, because you have more then just aesthetics of the bend to worry about, but the pokethrough from the underlying figure. Including accounting for it's JCM's. Often in clothing you end up with more JCM's then in a figure... if you want somewhat realistically fitted clothing, and not something that lookes like a stretched out tube sock a mile away from the figure body.

Quote - I am looking at adopting some of the Daz style scaling especially for  the chest-collars.  In Brad the collars are just a thin line befor the shoulder, not much to work with for scaling. But if I tie them together with the chest (morph forms) they work great. I'll likely end up with a hybrid Daz-Poser scaling. The example I used in the video is over simplified as well, cause you have to remember that you also have other body parts and x and z scale to account for as well. So it gets more complicated than just setting up the y scale, they all have to play nice together.
cheers.

There's no such thing as DAZ specific scaling rig. The difference is that internally, DS soesn't depend on the neighboring body part smoothing parameters like Poser does, but it happens automatically - internally in the program. If the 'bend' on a joint is turned ON, then it automatically smooths the transitions, while Poser depends more on the parameters you showed in your video. I can ask around and get more specifics about this if you'd like more info.
