Some like to have a rom ready to go. And that's what makes all the rom's different. Each chefs personal touch or programs installed. Everyone pretty much has the same ingredients available to them, it's what they include in their app list that makes people download and install their rom. And by apps, I mean skins or themes as well. Some offer a clean version you can customize as well. Before I learned how to cook, I would go with a "full" rom, then I went through a period of wanting a "clean" rom with uc that I could customize with .cabs, then I found nexvisions hulk rom and decided to cook them myself.

It's all a personal preference I suppose
