meta effector vs weight map

[chikega]

Short answer is no.

Long answer is that messiah's bone deformations are so good that only small corrections are needed here and there if any - hence the use of metaeffectors - only for touch ups.

so is better to add more bones in setup mode?

That's one of the great things about messiah - you can experiment with how many bones you actually need to get the job done. Add a bone and test it out in Animate mode interactively. I think a combination of regular bones combined with muscle bones is ideal for more realistic character work.

grzesiekj is working on a nice face rig tutorial that you may or may have not seen - it gives you an idea of how many bones/muscle bones some artist work with:
