shader or no shader?

I bought the Jewels - Eyes for V4 (http://www.daz3d.com/jewels-eyes-for-v4) during a recent sale, and knowing sometimes Poser MATs sometimes need tweaked in Daz, when a product offers both a shader or no shader option, and there isn't a little yellow scroll showing me it's DS friendly, which one should I use? The shader or the no shader?

The product description says:

MAT Poses for DAZ|Studio and Poser
MATs for Poser 5/6/7 include Shader Settings for further realism

Does that mean the 'shader' files are more for Poser but suck for Daz?

    Use the no shader option in DAZ Studio

    Kinda thought so. Now, is that a standard rule of thumb?

    Not completely reliable, but it does tend (if you are dealing with Poser format files) to mean materials using just the basic settings (DS-friendly) vs. materials set up in the Material Room. However, it can mean DAZ Default Shader vs one of the SSS shaders for DS, even in a Poser Format content directory if there are scroll icons on the thumbnails. Sorry, but as with anything human-generated it isn't a fixed usage.
