First... read read read about unlocking your phone (check the threads at the top of this forum). You have to unlock your phone before installing a custom ROM.

Second... there are so many... read read read. My personal favorite is one I built myself using a ROM Kitchen (Calkulin's). I've got Manila from a Touch HD on my phone with lots of graphical tweaks. I've been doing this since my Sprint Mogul days so I'm comfortable with building stuff and flashing/reflashing/tweaking/flashing/etc.

If I wasn't using my own... I'd probably be using a prebuilt one that is built from Calkulin's kitchen. Grooverom looks very nice, Mighty's Rom is well tested, BlueRom is pretty cool, Juggalo's ROM has some really nice features as well. There's just so many choices... that's why I build my own, so I can pull features I want from other roms and roll it into one. I don't publish it because I never test or use everything (like bluetooth or Youtube).

Figure out what you want in a ROM and pick the one that most closely matches what you want, the stuff that's missing you can add yourself using CAB installs.
