It's pretty painless, plenty of ways to fix a bad flash.
The rom you get depends on your needs.
Mighty Rom is pretty barebones, maybe something you want to start with.

Each rom's thread should also have rom specific installation instructions and FAQs.
Also remember to install the proper carrier provisioning and fixes for the rom you ultimately choose to get full functionality.
I agree. If this is your first flash, you probably don't want to have to tweak it alot yet. I would start of with Mightyrom or C_Fay's 1.1. They are fairly close to stock with many added features and themes and work pretty well out of the box. Personally, I run C_Fay's 1.1 because it is still 2.1 runs perfectly and has the added themes and weather animations. The majority on here like Mighty's roms though. I'm not crazy about all of the file folders in the menu. To each his/her own. I would stay away from the 2.5 builds until you get a few flashes down.
PS: MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD A CDMA ROM AND NOT A GSM ROM. A GSM COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE. Goodluck!
