Wouldn't it mess with game balance? I mean, should I use the 3.0 PHB ou the 3.5 PHB? Also, I'd like some advice on character creation. Since my gaming group never played OA, should they generate ability scores with the standard point buy (25 pts) or 28 pts would be a better option?

Again, I've had classes/races from OA in my games, and have had no problems with anything, in terms of balance or whatever else.
