I agree that rooting seems like a great big task and it's hard, I went through the same thing, that's why I read about the process for like two weeks and watched lots of youtube videos before taking the plunge, but honestly it's not that bad and you are not going to mess your phone up, when you talk about flashing radios and stuff like that is when things can go bad.

I'm not trying to rush you into doing anything your not comfortable with doing, so just take your time and you'll root your phone when your ready. Lots of great roms with people in the threads that are willing to help out, all you have to do is ask and someone will point you in the right direction.

Do not accept the OTA update if you plan on rooting your phone, there are stock rooted roms that you can flash if you are just wanting the phone to be rooted but have the stock rom, once you take that OTA update there's no rooting right now.

Also just about any 2.2 Froyo rom is perfected right now, most people have moved on from those to the 2.3 GB and things are pretty solid with those, but there are still small issues with them, just look under htc evo 4g thread and you will find another thread with a link to all roms, 2.3, 2.2, and even 2.1 roms, go look around and see what catches your eye and flash that when you are ready, good luck.
