I just decided to have a replay and was updating all my mods etc.. and ran into a few.. Hmmm situations

None of the old crafting mods seem to be updated..?
Some tell you to use other mods with them that those threads say are dead.. etc

I want to be able to craft all the armor/weapons/clothes including the faction specific ones... unenchanted. Which major crafting mod should I be using?

SKYRE??!! ..opinions?
Should I try this out?
Will it conflict with armor packages. I love downloading original armor and clothing.
Is it stable or buggy?
If I use it should I still download the unofficial patches?
