I'd use VE2, but my brain doesn't really grok it any more. Also, were I to use the stuff it'd be in a 4e game, so there would be a further conversion step, and choices to be made about tech levels, and it starts looking like too much work at that point. I wish 4e had its VDS, but that's probably not a thing that's ever going to see the light of day.
