Hi,
Please see answer inline ...

No, NetFlow V6 is an engineering version that has been developped
for one customer only. This version is not to be used, not supported
at all.
> 2) What's "different" between V5 & V6??
See above. The version to be used is V5 or V8 if you need router aggregation.
> 3) Does NetFlow Collector V3 see different information

I don't know what cflowd can see, but NFC3 will collect/aggregate the
full NetFlow records. You may find a good white paper at
http://www.cisco.com/go/netflow
And the NFC doc at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/index.htm
Now, let's go back to your question about VRF's. NetFlow is not VRF's
aware. The VRF's are not included in the NetFlow records, which is the
reason why you need a tool knowing the topology of the network (VPNSC).
If a PE exports the NetFlow data, VPNSC will correlate the interface number
and the VRF topology. In other words, VPNSC knows what are the VPN's that
have been provisioned on all the PE's (interfaces included). So VPNSC will
be able to determine the VRF the flow is belonging to knowing that the
flow is coming from a particular PE, through a particular interface.
Hope it answers your question,
Pierre
