There are too many chefs for me to say who is the best... so here are the ones I've used.
I started with DCD because I liked the kitchens and he also had great plug and play verizon ROMs. The skins and dialers look great out of the box and his ROMs are noob friendly.
Two things moved me away from DCD - I no longer need a kitchen or OEMs since UC works so well, and no2chem's ROMs have some extras and performance advantages. No2chem also worked out some issues that DCD was struggling with. I think no2chem is really an HTC engineer
