Which of these modifiers shoudl i be working with?

And is either one better for use with either a biped or custom rig

I'm no expert but if you are making a humaniod-type character (2 arms, 2 legs) then go with biped. They're a lot quicker to set up.

The Physique modifier is more sophisticated than Skin. You can control bulges, etc.

Oh and I only recently started with character Studio, I have found many good resrouces but here are a handful of tutorials you might like to look at: http://tutorial.stavit.cz/page.asp?category=0600

I choose Skin, it's easier to set up and the truth be known, more flexible.

I also find character studio isn't the nicest program to use. I find Character Animation Toolset more versatile and better behaved.
