You're not seriously paying for the dialup tethering service with vzw are you? Internet connection sharing works exactly the same was as it did before, regardless of what data plan you're on. It uses your existing PDA connection and literally shares it via advanced networking similiar to internet connection sharing in windows.. there is no dialup protocol creating a separate connection and that is what vzw considers "tethering."

Honestly, the vzw update probably isn't going to be superior in any way other than you will have the ability to use (and pay for) vznavigator. Ideally, there could be some additional driver updates but those will quickly be ripped out and incorporated into these custom ROMs fairly quickly... and hopefully the vznavigator quickfix technology will be dissected and incorporated as well, we can only hope.

Custom ROMs are almost always better than the carrier releases and usually if there is something better with a carrier release it is quickly adopted into custom roms so all in all, BETTER is almost ALWAYS be a custom ROM because they're updated a lot more frequently.

no2chem ROMs are a different story as well, especially with a lot of his most recent development. nueROM is literally going to drastically change the way you use your titan and I think longterm every device is going to work better with his optimized ROM and the customly coded tools he has created. However, this is an alpha concept and there are clearly lots of releases and testing going in to get to that point... Which is SUPERIOR really depends on your needs and expectations.. if you expect the hottest new features and tools no2chem's rom will always be better... if you consider stability to be what makes a ROM superior, the vzw ROM will prob hold that ranking for a short duration after release until other ROMs can incorporate what it is that makes the vzw better.

ohh.. and if you're only asking about if you can go to vzw update after installing a custom ROM then I apologize for all my mindless blabber and NO there is no problem with this... unlocking your phone only increases its abilities and in no way hinders its capabilities to update to carrier-released updates.
