If like me you are worried because you did your EVO rooting during the period late last year when Unrevoked3 / ClockworkMod were borked because of the Sprint OTA update ... I think you'll only have lost your keys if you did a nandroid back AND restore using the broken ClockworkMod recovery, because it didn't properly backup wimax.img.

My understanding is that the latest ClockworkMod version are fixed, and that AmonRa never had that problem.

However, I have done a manual backup of my keys, which I've saved away in my Dropbox and on a couple of local PC's ... just in case!

To answer your original question about kernels, i was using SBC-htc-15, but as of yesterday decided to back out to the stock kernel that Sprint Lovers comes with, by doing an update to the latest SL ROM, and not re-applying the SBC kernel afterwards. Think I'll wait and see how all this "trickle charging blows up batteries" discussion pans out before re-applying a kernel that uses it.
