Newbie rooting/flashing help!

Hey folks,

I rooted my phone a while ago but never flashed any custom roms, I mainly used it for setCPU and having free wireless teather. I'm intersted in flashing to a gingerbread based rom, preferebly with sense baked in. any suggestions as to which ROM to go with?

I used the unrevoked 3 method that came out before the latest OTA....I know since then unrevoked has been updated. do I need to re do the root process before flashing?

I booted to the bootloader and found this info if its helpful:

evt2-2 ship S-off
hboot 0.97
microp-041f
Touch panel-atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.09.01
aug 19 2010

i'm also concerned about keeping my apps. all my contacts and email are backed up to my exchange server, so i don't care about that, but the apps would be helpful to not have to reinstall everything. I downloaded titanium backup but it force closes every time I launch it. I already made a Nandroid backup via the bootloader..but will i be able to pull my apps form that backup? or do I need titanium backup (or some equilivent) to work? what should I do?

Thanks in advance!
could someone tell me if I need to re root?
