Thank you for your reply, EZiniT!.
I thought it might be a simple solution hidden somewhere in the viewport settings.
But as you said, the Houdini settings don't provide a satisfactory solution.
The Visibility node seems to be the easiest and simplest solution.
I'll just have to use that.

Problem: Geometry lines are visible all the way to the eyebag behind the eye.

The eyebag is actually a "surface" like skin, a surface that extends over the eye socket.
Therefore, the actual inner face (opposite the normal), such as the back of the head, is not visible.
But strangely, the eyebag surface is visible.

This makes selecting vertices around the eye area very difficult.

I've tried three solutions, but they still don't work.
1) Enable Remove Backfaces (yellow box)
2) Disable Tint backfaces (red box)
3) Disable Area Select Visible Geometry Only (selection mode options)

How can I make these overlapping lines invisible?

it doesn't matter, both of them are just hierarchy of transforms, the difference is that bones have length and therefore define a special type of parent space which is offset from it's root

since nowadays it's more convenient to use KineFX to build or import skeleton you are better off with joint based rig

Thanks for the reply!
Now I can use KineFX without hesitation.
