Well, I can tell you this. The rigger is the one archetype that
takes the longest character generation time (yet, they're quite fun
to play IMO). Resource allocation is pure hell, and involves a
tremendous amount of vehicle design/customization.
Also, Shadowrun 4, being a complete rewrite of the rules (as in,
old WoD vs. new WoD rather than SR2 vs. SR3), will be completely
incompatible with SR3. Somebody will probably write some conversion
rules, but if you ask me it's easier to just re-create the character.
Same goes, of course, for vehicles (except that I doubt there'll ever
be conversion rules for those).
So my point is, either wait for SR4 to come out, or stick to SR3
for this campaign.
