I started to use the Diffeomorphic Plugin a while ago and I get good results mainly.

My workflow is basically like this:

Create a character in DAZ Studio, fit multiple sets of Clothing to it. Make sure there are no standard names in it Save Scene, "Export to Blender"

In Blender, load default scene, get rid of the cube.

Import character

Select all, join Armatures.

Import favorite morphes (for me FACS, FACS Expressions, Visemes, JCMs, Flexions, some custom Morphs)

Save local textures

Make all bones posable

Add additional face bone layer

Create Visibility drivers, create masks on main mesh

manually define the created Vertex groups for masking.

Create MHX rig

Add mannequin for easier posing.

Also, I change things to the shaders most of the time..

Do you use the plugin as well? How does your workflow differ? Does anyone use HD meshes?
