Any opinions on what is the best photobased texture set for Daz's V4 figure (the topic) out there? I like the hand painted feel ones but I mean in terms of photorealism.

IMO, Danae is, by far, one of the best producers of lifelike human textures for V4 - https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?uid=5262

Also, the DAZ "Elite" textures are pretty good.

I prefer Danae's, overall, to any figure artist's textures I've tried. I buy whatever Danae sells for V4 with no worries about quality or realism involved. I only buy characters for the textures, unless there's a very interesting custom body morph. I have purchased characters from many praised character artists out there and, time and time again, I compare them to Danae's work and find them lacking. That's not an insult, though, because Danae's work is just that good, IMO.

PS - I do find myself often modifying certain textures, a bit, though. But, that goes for every character texture set I've ever purchased, that I can recall. Luckily, most vendors have removed lighting shadows and AO effects from their texture sets... Well, I hope they have. :) PPS- IIRC, V4 "Elite" texture sets have some shadowing in the lower regions, but nothing too obtrusive.
