I have verizon and have used both ROMS. Both are stable, although I usually wait a day or 2 after no2chem releases a ROM because it generally takes a revision or two to get things totally stable since his tend to push the envelope more than dcd's.

IMHO, no2chem's roms are faster and have more free memory. They also have direct draw - I don't think any other roms have it, but I may be wrong. His next rom will have a custom driver for the wifi switch that will let it control the volume instead of wifi.

I started with dcd's because it worked great out of the box with no need to install a custom big-button dialer or skins. I think no2chem's comes with skinned dialer and comm manager now too (I have a custom dialer autoinstall after flash).

I tend to avoid kitchens because it's a pain to remove or update programs that are installed through a kitchen. You have to re-flash to uninstall or upgrade programs that are part of the kitchen. I prefer to have my program cabs automatically installed using UC or one of the other auto-installers right after I flash so it's easy to uninstall them if needed.
