My list would be:

#1 - Formula (Actually this ROM inspired me to build my own)
#2 - VINdows Plutonium W/CHT
#3 - NRG MaxSense v1.05
#4 - BigMaxSense WWE (A little glitchy every now and again, but great)
#5 - L3gion Blue Ark[or is it Arc?] (Again a great rom, minor glitches)

Basically, you just need to play around and find what really works best for you.

Like I said, I found Formulas to be VERY inspiring and thus caused me to want to learn to cook my own ROM, so now I am working on a SPB Mobile Shell ROM (with tons of special features of course, lol).

So, I would start with Formulas Mobile Shell and just take it from there (if you even find a need to swap to another ROM after playing with his)
