I'm about to play through the Denver missions for the first time (first time playing Shadowrun at all in fact and I'm trying to decide if it's better to start with four ranks of the tasking skill group or five ranks in both compiling and registering.
I have no other skills that I would be raising above four anyway due to me either wanting the entire group or not really worried about it.

Any advice from more experienced runners out there about both the usefulness of the skill and/or the prevalence of enemy Technomancers among the printed opposition?

(The DM is only allowing the core book because he both doesn't want to learn more rules than he has to and the missions enemies being statted with only the core book, I'm trying to convince him otherwise, but no luck yet)
