It makes no difference where the ROM base came from. What matters is whether the Bell carrier modifications are applied. 99% of the ROMs to be found will use either PPCKitchen's carrier definitions or DCDs carrier definitions. There is no practical difference between the two other than the way they are installed (DCD runs after the rom is built, PPCkitchen is embedded). The actual carrier customizations are the same.
Most of the applications in everyone's ROMs come from PPCKitchen, and they are embedded in the ROM. DHarvey's ROM is a PPCKitchen product, and thus will have it's applications primarily in ROM. NFSfans ROM, while utilizing quite a few PPCKitchen elements, also contains some of his own...I can't vouch for their quality as I haven't looked at them, but generally automated OEM tools generate inferior results. Odds are, you won't notice the difference because the Vogue has plenty of memory available.
So, to direclty answer your questions:

Tonight, I'm flashing back to NFSFAN's No themed Rom simply for the reason that it was originally a Bell rom which may mean that it would be more compatible with my phone.

No.

Now here are some million dollar questions
1. are most of the included programs in DH Roms such as Opera, installed in ROM, thus saving RAM space?
|
Yes, sortof. You don't save RAM, you save Storage (flash). Keep in mind, however, that unlike a stock rom, custom roms exchange ROM space for Storage. So, what you really gain (assuming you don't have poorly done OEMs) is preinstalled software w/ customizations, not Storage space savings.

2. Is it better to install a ROM that was stripped from the original OEM Rom? such as NFSFAN's Rom which was created from Bell's latest ROM?
|
No.

3. Anyone check the difference between
RUU_Vogue_4350_BM_WWE_3.08.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship
and
RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_3.09.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship?

The radio didn't change, the OS changed - but Microsoft/HTC/Carriers don't publish changelogs.
