Grifting - 20 years on

After watching the sizzle reel for Slingers

I decided I wanted to do a Leverage style game about grifters who are probably 20 years past their prime. 

A group of characters with probably too many links to each other on the relationship map. 

A group who's skills are all out of date and more liability than asset.

And a group that really really needs to pull off one more job.

So my first question is what system to use.  PTA would be a natural, but I want the possibility of PvP conflicts so I'm actually thinking of use PDQ#.  I've read Zo, and T&J, and parts of S7S, and I ran a short lived but really fun game of Zo.  So PDQ isn't a problem, but the free PDQ# pdf seems really muddled to me.  LIke it was mashed together and not really organized.

Guess I'll need to do some organization and make up a cheat sheet.

Also need a setting.  Fantasy is out, so possibly modern day or sci fi.  Haven't ruled out steampunk on a zepplin, but that may be amshing too many genre's together.

And do I try to get it together for Dreamation in Feb, or save it off for Dexcon and possible loos momentum.

It is a puzzle.
