Who would you choose if you can only choose one?

Sales will be the death of me! I'm also the queen of indecision. :) Anyway I am going to buy ONE of the female figures on sale for $15 but can't decide which I would get most use of? So I thought I'd ask here to see if you can help me decide. Which would you get of these girls - Aiko, Giselle, Stephanie, The Girl or Olympia if you could only choose one and why? All answers greatly appreciated even though I know it is Christmas and everyone is probably sitting down to or recovering from Xmas dinners. :)
PS my sister was going to get me a gift certificate from DAZ 3D but couldn't get the cart to work for some reason. Got me an Amazon gift certificate instead. Would have preferred the DAZ one. :(

...I would say Steph6 s there are extra morphs that come with as well as as add ons (eg. Slender Stephnie6 for example). Back in the Gen4 days Steph4 was my go to figure and I found that with her as it was fairly easy to create teens as well as adult characters. She has a smaller stature than Vicky (I think something like 5' 4" instead of 5 '11") and is proportioned so.
I would say Girl or Aiko, as the others are in the "realistic" style of Victoria, with differences in the body that you could generally replicate (I'm assuming you have Victoria already). The other two being "stylized" gives you more variety for your money. (assuming you want a more varied character types.)
That's interesting as I was looking at Giselle because she was more girlish in stature so thought she might work as a younger character but preferred Stephanie overall.
Depends on what kind of scenes you tend to build. And what kind of people you want to populate them with. Stephanie (or Mei Lin) add a well-porportioned shorter figure to your repetoire without needing to twiddle with all kinds of scaling issues for head, torso and every limb. Olympia adds a bit more curviness in a realistic style. The Girl adds curves in a far from realistic style. Giselle would come in really handy if you do a lot of fae, or waif renders. Aiko is basically an action figure and does what she's designed for very well, and very attractively.
What you pack depends on where you want to go.
I have Victoria 6 and Gia 6 who I have to admit I don't know why I bought as I've never used her. I think you gave me my answer though as I like more realistic. I've seen some characters that used Aiko that I really liked but not sure I like the toonish style of the base figure.
I own all the non-toon, non-teen characters, and I would probably pick up Olympia. I like her face and curves. But I was surprised that I also like Lilith.
That's interesting as I was looking at Giselle because she was more girlish in stature so thought she might work as a younger character but preferred Stephanie overall.
...while slight of build, Giselle (who is basically a stylised fey character) has proportionately longer legs than Steph or Victoria. The Slender Steph6 morphs are a worthwhile add on and can also be mixed with other G2F figures.
I do have Giselle as I also work with fey characters as well.
Aiko 6 is not as much of toon character s her Gen3 counterpart.
Personally Giselle is the most used one of the ones I have on sale (all but Steph 6), I find I tend to use her in little bits in nearly all characters. Next would be Aiko, I have Steph 5 and can't stand the face or figure so won't bother picking up Steph 6. If the legs are too long I use the legs length in reverse.
Another thing to consider is if you are ever likely to pick up the starter or pro packs for these figures at some point in the future, as you would end up buying the base figure again. For example, I might pick up Giselle 6, since I like the base figure, but have little interest in much of the pro or starter packs for her apart from one character (I am not much interested in clothes made from plants). Whereas the Jayden 6 pro pack contains some practical real world outfits I could see myself using.
Is it possible to use the shape of each figure on the Gen 2 base as a morph, without using the unique UVs?
Yes, if you use the skin of another character. For many characters, only the skin of the base model, and a few select others use the custom UV's
I rarely purchase any of the addon figures since I can come very close myself with the basic morphs and custom morphs in zbrush and don't need the extra UV hassle. I did pick up Giselle since I wanted a believable thin, waifish figure and was having a hard time achieving that on my own without looking anorexic or emaciated. Mixed with some other morphs, I am very happy with the purchase.
I pretty much agree with everything you say, especially the remark from Havos. I admit I'd choose from Olympia (because she is by far the most realistic and believable Generation 6 women and has a lovely shape), Giselle (because she looks different from the rest can has a nice face) or Girl 6 (as she is a great not realistic character, but still the most believable from her line and good for dialing partially).
