Smoother Bodies or Better Bodies

I am thinking of installing either Smoother Bodies or Better Bodies, but I'm not sure which to use.
I've read that Better Bodies can cause more complications, but that Smoother Bodies is not quite as nice.
I also need to be careful about my FPS...
I'm also wondering about how save games will be affected.

So if anyone here has experience with either or both I'd appreciate any information :)

I have BB 2.0. On a slow pc it slows your game down to a slideshow when in crowded areas (Ebonheart is probably the worst), but it is indeed nicer than the screenshots I saw of SB. I have some custom clothing and armor mods installed, and BB seems to work fine with all of them. The only problems I've experienced so far are some slight head clippings with the hats from Cloak Collection, and with the combination of the blue expensive gloves and a robe.

well i am not sure but there is Better Bodies 2.1 or 2.2 wich removes some of those glitches..

I would say that Better Bodies would be better choise.. Well i havent tried smoother bodies... but better bodies is just better becuse it sounds better.

There is also pluging that can remove or change female sixpack to less muscular belly.. :rolleyes:

Hmm... Ebonheart already causes me framerate slowdowns. Some time back I had the various animal mods by Cait installed and I could barely move in the place, so if that is what Better Bodies does I may have to forego it, I wonder what Smoother Bodies would do though?

Edit
I've just been looking around. It seems as though Smoother Bodies is less of a FPS hit, and the more slender appearance would work better for the characters I tend to play. Thanks though :)
