I personally DO use SPB Backup, but I don't do a full restore. I do a full backup, then after flashing my ROM I run the restore and do a custom restore. I uncheck e-mail, then I go into System Files and uncheck the databases and registry, then custom choose which System Files I want to restore, and then I only check my Favorites directory, VistaHide in the Startup folder, my Rings directory, and the Windows Media codec files. I then do the restore, then manually reinstall my applications that I always use. It's an easy way to restore all of my personal data without creating compatibility issues.
