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.

All I'm saying is that if someone is asking for an opinion, give him an opinion and not advise. At the very least shrink it down to a few options. We all know that there are a select few roms that rise above the rest in these threads and that there are certain ones that may be less likely to please. You will always be right when you say that it is a matter of preference, but that is exactly what was being asked of you.... your preference. If everyone even simply stated their preference then a new flasher (sounds like a pervert) could very easily distinguish the more popular roms (i.e. if 100 people responded ans 30% used Juicy 20% used Calcu's, 15% used OMJ, 15% used Mighty 10% used Jugs, 9% used groove and 1% used other you've already dwindled it down to at least 6 and the percentage might even recommend the order by which to start flashing)

I guess my point is you're point is logical but let's assume the person asking the question understood the idea of preference and variables and still just wanted an opinion, let's give him that or nothing at all

Im going to simplify all this that everyone is saying because there is no "right" answer. Currently there are a plethora of roms avialable. I personally prefer mighty's and have always preferd his rom but that is only because his rom meets my need for a winmo ppc and everyone elses may be different. Your best bet is to try each rom and pick the one that best suits you. If you ask questions like that on this forum you will never get a straightfoward answer seeing how there isnt one. Today mighty might have the best rom but tommorrow india may come out with one that trumps his (based on each users opinion) or vise versa. My recommendation seek and ye shall find
