Do you want different functionality for these other types of resources, such as cost calculations or custom data fields? Or is it just the word 'Staff' that's causing you trouble?

There are different cost calculations. For instance, if I hire out a subcontractor, there is sometimes a markup in cost to the client (let’s say 10%). The cost to me is still the same, but if I want to look at actual costs to the client, I need to figure out the hours hired out and multiply that by the markup. Clients cost nothing (hopefully), so that is easy to figure out ;)
Thinking about the custom fields, I guess I could use them to define their role or whether they are subcontractor or client.
