I used to prefer Juicy's roms but once they were no longer available I immediately switched to Mighty because his roms contained all the extra add-ons I enjoyed (especially the facebook up loader) I've since discovered groove's rom build 9 which i find to be faster and smoother but it's main drawback for me was the missing facebook up loader. Fortunately someone figured out how to get it on there and now I am very happy with groove rom as it has the speed and smoothness I want and the added features I need.

And for the rest of you guys that failed to simply give their recommendation:

I know that for those of you who are regulars on these threads, it gets tiring answering the same questions over and over again, but this individual was asking for an opinion which you were free to give or not give. Asking him/her to try them all or cook their own is not a helpful suggestion in the least. The reason this person is asking is likely because both those options are not viable. If you asked someone "Hey what movie do you recommend?" and they answered "Watch them all!" or "Make your own!" I doubt you'd find that helpful. I'll bet you'd find it downright rude.

Now a suggestion. If you feel the question to be a waste of your time, then by all means don't respond. I've seen threads opened that have never gone past the original question. They don't las long and are quickly forgotten.

No one is asking you to waste your time when they are asking for your opinion, don't waste theirs by filling their thread with answers that are not useful
I agree that sometimes these threads get a little contentious but I agree with Tobey. Everytime a list is compiled, it's outdated and serves little purpose. Usually what ends up happening is someone says one rom is better than another and an argument ensues. Some people flash incorrectly and have minor issues with a rom that are easily fixed or would not be there for others. Being that we all customize, back up, install differently, the best recommendation is to flash multiple roms and see which one is a fit. Your movie analogy is not very credible. A movie is unchanged and is a final release, each rom, although similiar, is vastly different and changes day to day so there is no way to analyze it's performance against other roms. Plus each movie is not only a final release but they are completely different where as all of our roms are all very similiar with added software, ui, etc. I guess we can make this type of comparison if we compared the blackberry storm to the diamond. So I think the advice should be to try different roms and make an informed decision based on your personal experience and criteria.
