I did upgrade to the leaked vzw 6.1 release (and let customizations run), so my radio is 3.37.77. I believe I still would have to unlock, which I think would be with the newer unlocker because it's the gps/rev a rom?
Also, would I need to reinstall whatever programs I have installed even though I installed them to the storage card? I would think yes, because the registry would still be changing, but like I said, I'm still a total newb.
Any advice you guys could offer would be great, and I totally appreciate it! I've been following the forums here for a long while, and reading as much as I can, but a little advice goes a long way.
Thanks again!

But try out a bunch of different ROMs and see which one you like best. I would also suggest Old_Man_Jenkins ROM or Dette's
Good luck!
Also yes all of your apps and stuff are uninstalled because it is basically a hard reset.
However just save the cabs on your storage card and that makes stuff a lot easier and once you learn more, do your own user customizations.
