Which Inks To Use

[THUSBAND@sbcglobal.net]

I think I'm ready to buy the Niagara inking system but 
am still not sure which ink to use, Generations4 or 
Plug and Play.  Here are my questions/concerns:

Generations4 Ink
I've read they aren't good on resin coated papers.  I 
like Epson Premium Glossy Photo and Luster along with 
Red River Matte.  Are they resin Coated?  What papers 
will work?  What's the difference between resin and 
cast coated?  Will I have to stick to cast coated 
paper?  Does the black ink smudge?

Plug and Play Ink
What is the lifetime?  I've heard it's 25 years but is 
that under severe conditions?  Can they be used on all 
the papers Epson ink can be used on?

Overall what are your impressions of the two inks?  
I'll certainly be reprofiling everything no matter 
which ink I choose but will I like the results as well 
as the Epson inks?

Thanks again.  There's an awful lot of knowledge on 
this list.
