Hi would strongly recommend step-Files and convert them with MoI. So you have full control over how the geometry gets meshed (MoI has quite some options for tuning). And ask the client to keep the assembly groups intact. So you have all building blocks properly named as separate objects and don't have to deal with one single piece of geometry. This way I had never any problems. Try to stay away from IGES. I had always problems with missing surfaces. STL and WRML exports are already meshed. So it can be a bit of an problem to clean the geometry.
