Opinions on which is better 2k3 or XP?
There's a lot of resources available for 2000/2003 and it is widely accepted.
RMXP there are fewer resources but a greater potential for customisation and richer graphics.
RMVX (Coming february) looks to be better than XP for ease of use but there won't be any resources available for a long time.
So in retrospect, if you don't want to spend forever making your own resources go with 2003. If you're willing to chip in the time and effort (perhaps learn a bit of ruby scripting too if you want) then XP or VX are the way you wanna go.

How to make imported chars transparent?
If your character is not a transparent PNG (i.e. an image with a transparent background) then your best bet is to import using RMXP's resource editor.
Select your character image then this shall appear:
Left click on the transparent colour that you want on the sprite sheet, in this case turquoise. Then you click okay and all should be okay.
Your sprite's transparent colour must be consistent i.e. if you're importing a jpeg and it is a lossy image then the chances are that the bg in not consistent and it may look bad in game so make sure you get good quality resources.
