Which 4GB patch for NV non-steam + NVSE + ENB?

Okay, so I'm messing around with FONV a bit, tweaking and modding it as best as I can. However, I'm not sure which 4GB patch I should use.

I have a nonsteam version, want to use NVSE and ENB, and I can't really choose between the many 4GB patches out there. The first one I downloaded was a steam version which according to the readme didn't even work with nonsteam versions of NV, and then I found another Steam 4GB patch that also recognizes NVSE and ENB, which makes me wonder if just slamming a generic 4GB patch on there will even have the desired effect if I'm using a non-vanilla NV .exe.

So, I'm a bit lost here. I don't want to sound like a total nub, but yeah, nub need help. :(
 
Boxed version.

Anyway, I've found the answer to my own question by now. I've used this one.
Got New Vegas running beautifully, Found an ENB preset that didn't suck balls, got all my mods working, and it runs like a dream. :)
 
I've been using this one:
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55061/?

Renamed the original NewVegas Launcher in something like FalloutNVLauncher-blah-bak.exe (backup of original)
Renamed the 4GBLauncher in FalloutNVLauncher.exe
Used these starting parameters "-laaexe .\FalloutNV4GB.exe" (without quotes)

This started the 4GB Launcher+NVSE and I could use ENB.
 
Like I said, I just used the generic 4GB patcher, patched FalloutNV.exe, FalloutNVlauncher.exe and nvse_launcher.exe (basically just everything because I didn't know what I was doing :P), and I haven't had any problems since. My ENB realism pack runs super smooth, especially after messing with the enblocal.ini a bit. I've also been using NMC's texturepack and a lot of clothing and armor texture replacers which can be considered demanding GPU-wise, and so far I've yet to experience my first CTD.

With Fallout 3 and Skyrim I just sort of half assed modding the game and just slapped a lot of mods in the general direction of the games and ended up with pretty unstable games, but this seems to work perfectly.

Also, NVAC and New Vegas Stutter Remover seem to help a lot.

I've also been using YUP and I have to say, back when I was playing on console, I encountered a lot more bugs and weird stuff. Definitely recommended.

I've also made a merged patch for all the mods I'm currently using, but no bashed patch. After googling for a bit I'm not even entirely sure I need one, and like I said, my gaming experience has been stable, so far all my mods seem to be functioning properly and levelled lists seem to be working properly as well. Googling around hasn't exactly made it all that clear to me when you would need a bashed patch. Does anyone here have any experience with it?

FYI, even the boxed version requires Steam. You can install from the disc, but it has to link to Steam to run (I bought the physical edition on Amazon as well).
