Some conflicts are obvious like installing a task bar that makes things not align properly but some arent so obvious like how installing opera a few builds back caused youtube sound to not work.

Before I install anything I go through the basic settings and steps like updating quickgps, make sure everything works properly. I even test mms fresh out the box on every flash to see if it happens to work, if it doesnt I change the server settings to sprint specific to see it thatworks, then I install the necessary cabs. These steps ensure that if something breaks I know exactly where it went wrong. A little extra work goes a long way toward happy flashing.
Yes, that's definitely an issue. I handle it by organizing my CABs and REGs in subfolders. Sashimi will install cabs from subfolders in the order of the folder name. I have 1-ROM fixes, 2-MMS fixes, 3-Programs, 4-Last.

This lets me easily add/remove fixes based on the current ROM, and ensures that ROM Fixes get installed first, since they are often more OS level.
