I also use the recovery that came with Toast's root, and it's the only thing I ever use. Not sure about the advanced recovery options in Clockwork, but the method that OMJ posted awhile back is what I use to restore data.img, and it's never failed me. I never touch ROM Manager or Titanium anymore. Just recovery, ADB, and NAND backups.
So anyway, this is definitely worth posting again... I made a couple edits regarding Calkulin's Clear Temp .zip, to be more efficient with data.img size. My edits are in bold.

here are some simplified steps....
-Copy Calkulin's Clear Temp .zip to root of SD card.
-reboot into recovery, Flash Calkulin's Clear Temp .zip, do a nand backup
-toggle USB, copy the fresh data.img to c:\sdk\tools (or wherever your path is)
-copy new ROM to sd card
(Optional: Copy Calkulin's FORMAT ALL .zip to root of SD card)
-toggle USB again
-wipe data & dalvik-cache
(Optional: Flash Calkulin's FORMAT ALL .zip)
-flash new ROM (DONT REBOOT)
-wipe data & dalvik-cache again
-power down
-boot into bootloader
-select fastboot
-from pc (usb cable plugged in still) type... fastboot flash userdata data.img
-when finished, reboot
