If you try to produce multiple versions for example both weight mapped and capsule then any supporting content, except for static props, will also need two versions. 

Note at no time did the OP state what the intention of an answer to this question was. If this is for personal use, then there is no reason to do both. If it is for commercial sale, then considerations need to be taken into account when it comes to commercial viability. Further nobody said this figure was to be for Poser only. 

Rigging itself is an art form and one of the most difficult things to get right throughout the CG Industry.This is not a simple undertaking if that is your intention. 

If you are looking to rig a figure I will point out that many of the most popular Published Artists that produce non-weightmapped poser figures do their rigging in DAZ Studio as they find the tools easier to use than Poser's for original figures and add-ons. (And that does include those that sell here and at RDNA.)
