I figure Titanium then Rom manager but not sure what boxes to check within the apps. I believe Rom manager serves the same purpose as nanroid, not sure.

IF there's a difference between nand backup and ROM backup I havent found it so I'll say no. I've read that you can take the files from one and put it into the folder of the other so that leads me to believe they are the same.
After flashing a new ROM I'd just pick one nand or ROM Manager backup and Titanium (reasoning explained below). If you were uber-paranoid you COULD run all three but it's not necessary.
Titanium backup--while you can take it ROM to ROM within the same OS version if the ROMs were completely different some data may not transfer well.
You can however use the Titanium backup to carry your
apps from 2.1 to 2.1 even if they are vastly different ROM OR from 2.1 to 2.2 (provided they're written for 2.2). While there may be some exceptions, for the most part most of your system data wont transfer from 2.1 to 2.2. Contacts and Calendar backed up via gmail being the exception (without using Titanium)
@Jspecrx7-within Titanium the choice is yours. I'd backup EVERYTHING then when you go to restore you can pick and choose what you want to add back into the new ROM.
