Honestly bro, just save your body file elsewhere and download CBBE just for the learning process to make things easier. You can always go back. And for outfits and stuff, it depends on if there is support for outfits using that body type. You'll save a lot of time if you just learn the CBBE way and it will translate over to other body types. Its all the same process, but different body meshes. I would still recommend using CBBE though, since almost every clothing mod on the nexus uses it and has the most customization.
