For first vocals in general... Thats a toughy.

Bilinguals are for those who want to see what is easier for them at the word "go". It allows you to go into either languages and access more types of VSQ/VSQX files. It gives you language options, should it turn out you really can't use Japanese phonetics that well or prefer the other language.

With V4 most vocals lean towards XSY, as with 1 extra vocal it doubles a vocaloids potential tonal range. Sadly, be careful as some vocals like Megpoid sound like a good deal... But as I've pointed out before, those 10 vocals are the same tempo and range so there isn't that much room to see what happens.

Lua V4 has 3 vocals which are repeated to cheaply make 6... Thats the best way to sum it up... CFM are very disappointing this generation, even the Kagamine V4 has issues... EVE is crap right now and needs more work. But Kagamine English Len is disappointing, as he basically sounds female, the Kagamines have had a history of issues... Thats why its always difficult to find the time to recommend them. Without EVEC, their as close to other vocals form other companies in terms of what they do, as CFM vocals get and often are two half-CFM vocals in the end. (for example, while Miku Append gave Miku 6 new vocals, Len and Rin get 3 each because their 6 vocals were split between them).

The Japanese side of things in general don't tend to be as tough to use as some of the other language vocals, in terms of construction. Though there are some that are still hard to use. If you want to ask about specific ones, we'll voice our thoughts, though VO forums tend to be more vocal on opinions for this. There are more users there. :-/
