I use the PhysicalSurface root because the cycles root gives us blank previews, which are bad to work with character skin, and the PoserSurface root just..... looks bad in Superfly more often than not, apart from being a hack by now.
I understand you so much and I sincerely look forward to the day Poser will have its own "Evee", a Cycles preview.
In the mean time, I'm setting up my characters this way:

When I'm posing my characters, I use a Python script I've written to switch to Firefly mode. and when I'm ready to render, I switch back to Cycles. The same script is also used to experiment different material settings for a second layer designed to add some gloss, using an AnisotropicBsdf node, and I'm not completely mastering it π
For the base layer, it's based on PrincipledBsdf, with values that almost the same as Ghostship's:

Here the result, using Afrodite Ohki's wonderful Gabriele Hair (Hey! I'm in love of your hairs, among others... π)
