Which USPS module should I use?

USPS and a free shipping contribution
24 March 2012, 00:45
I am getting ready to make the jump to osC 2.3.1 and I'm looking for different contributions to add.
What I am hoping to do is offer free shipping on a lot of products (probably per categories).
How I would "like" the shipping scenario to work =
Cart = all free shipping products... Free only option.
Cart = pay for shipping... USPS options.
Cart = both pay for & free = add up "all" weights... USPS options.
Not sure if this is even possible???
After searching these to contributions stand out:
Show Free Ship + Modules v1.2 by fulluvscents 31 Jan 2012
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8328/v,23
Individual Product Shipping Prices (which version?)
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1333
Has anyone had experience with either of these?
Would any of them serve my purpose?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Oops, forgot... I'll be using PayPal

Old 2.2 database info to new 2.3.1 database
13 March 2012, 02:52
Before I start messing with my XAMPP versions and old localhost files (2.2), I was wondering what would be the best way to transfer my old database info to the new 2.3.1 database?
So far I have found:
The 2.3.1 upgrade_guide.pdf only mentions - "Update database table column field lengths".
GitHub references the same but I noticed that the new 2.3.1 database might include more tables, such as administrators.
I also see here that the character encoding has changed from Latin_1 to UTF_8_general_ci.
I'm not really a wiz with MySQL and/or phpMyadmin but was wondering if instead of making a copy of my exsisting database, adding tables, changing field values, etc... If I could just export and then import the necessary imformation.
A point in the right direction would be highly appreciated!
Sorry if this has been cover before, I tried searching but found nothing.
