Mark, Are you sure about HDV if you get .avi files? I thought they have .mts as file extension but I may be wrong. Editing AVI files should not be a problem at all.
The present version is Elements 9 but version 10 will soon come out. No idea though what the differences will be. The advantage of Elements is the price but you will have a watered down version compared to Prem Pro and many functions are not available. Also the workflow and interface are different. But it can do more than most of us ever do. I don't think there is anybody who really uses everything Pro can do - just nice to have:-) . Not sure whether Adobe still sell CS4. If you can get it cheap from somebody go for it. Otherwise download the trial version of Elements and decide for yourself whether it does what you want (need). I don't think the trial version handles any MPEG files but that should not be a problem if you have AVI files. Once paid no problem with MPEG.
