If you want a COMPLETE clean install then backup all your apps and contacts (if you don't have it synced with google or exchange) and then do a clean wipe and install the custom ROM. Then you can just reinstall all your apps and resync your contacts back to your phone. However you will loose all your phone settings and dictionary words.
This is the reason why I just flashed Modaco's ROM over my backup.
I had actually done a complete wipe then installed the ROM cuz I thought that's what fixed my wifi tether issue (it still didn't work after I flashed Modaco's ROM) and it did but I lost all my settings and dictionary.
So I flashed my backup, uninstalled wifi tether, then flashed Modaco's ROM and the wifi started working fine. Turns out, at least for me, having wifi tethering already installed prior to flashing the custom ROM somehow did not allow it to work.

cool, so im sure there are certain instances where one might want\need to wipe and flash but normally its ok to flash over and retain all settings then? great !
