Well using autorig or even the rigify face rig was a failed experiment. Either way, I think it'll be a good idea to refresh my rigging skills. I have done a few before, but I'm far from a pro. And I'm out of practice. Therefore, I'll take the plunge. I decided to get better acquainted with rigging. I'm not looking forward to weight painting; seems like a lot of trial and error. I updated the Resources page with more courses on Rigging. These are the best I've run into.
