For a starter ROM I would really go with Energy for 6.5. It takes getting use to, so I would say use it for a few days b4 passing judgement on it.

If you want to stick with 6.1 go with silence/mighty. very nice rom. i never had any problems with it.

DCD has a new ROM out now too, but I haven't tried it yet. But back in the Mogul days DCD was a legend lol. He had the best roms...i'm flashing to it as soon as i get off work.
