I like both V5 and V6 as base characters to build off of. It seems like the clothing for Genesis 2 Female/V6 autofits a bit better than Genesis/V5, but that could just be an impression or better designed clothing (Genesis1 clothing works very well on V6 too).

If your looking for more realism, the HD add on(s) looks awesome. I don't have any of the HD sets yet, but I am saving up for them. But IMHO it really comes down to what you want to do, and what you "like". V6 was worth the investment for me, she provides a good quick starting point to "build" from because I like her general look and shape, but your milage may vary.
