if running CHT, I prefered 1.8.5 for the stability.

CHT2 has some new features not present in 1.8.5 but I didn't use them.

I have since moved to a minimalistic type rom (Titanium with iPhoneToday home screen). Much faster. Even when I was running CHT1.8.5, I wasn't using much of the actual CHT enhancements......

I prefer the speed and stability over eyecandy and slow.....

That being said, its still a preference you will have to determine by using both to see how it works for you....everyones results are different.
