Depends really. If you can code, go for DarkGDK, faster and you can modify to your full potential.
But then again, with FPSC, you can just kick back and have loads of fun making a game, but with limitations, and then with the GDK, the only limitation is your abilities...All comes down to choice and options.

I totally understand what your saying......I guess what frustrated me about the Dark GDK was the lack of tutorials......I looked and seatched the boards but not much out there and it seems that when people asked questions inthe boards they got really vague answers......I was able to get a map I made loaded into GDK but then I tried searching for how to produce collission and such and answeres were really hard to find....The documentation is vague at best and so I kinda gave up some.......I really want to produce in GDK but just need some help getting started....I pick up on things real quick......

Then look at the source code for FPSC to learn about collisions.

If I were you, then I would...

Use FPSC for your first game. (maybe one not for release but for in house R&D)

Study the FPSC source code to learn about collisions etc, and to get the game to do what you want it to.
Make the modifications or build a new engine from scratch using your GDK.
