Right now i'm running a custom ROM on my Mogul, Titanium v. something...it definately improved the usability of the device over the default OS, but still is a little laggy for my taste. Not to fear ill be getting a touch pro either tomorrow or monday so that's where my real interest currently lies.
Lemme get to my point.
Basically i'm here to introduce myself considering ill probably be spending alot of time here (and to be honest, at other forums as well) after I get my pro, and also cause I have some questions about stuff i'd like to understand. Before I ask anything i just wanna make it clear that i personally am very knowledgeable when it comes to techincal aspects of the computer world in general so I don't have too hard of a time understanding majority of things.
Now for my questions.
1. What is the difference between using the default sprint rom or a custom one? Advantages vs. disadvantages? What should I be considering in selecting a ROM for use? What's the best one? What is a 'kitchen'?
2. What is the difference between the different radios? What are the disadvantages/advantages of using different ones? What is the purpose of changing to a different radio? What's the best one?
3. Any important/useful tweaks/hacks/software I should know about to improve the usage of my device? If i'm going to be venturing into the world of 'custom ROM flashing' and 'radios' and etc, what else do I need to know? What different factors should I take into account that will affect the stability of my device?
I think I had some other things I wanted to ask but I can't remember them right now, if i think of them later i'll post.
And I understand that I could probably search and find the answer to some of these questions, but I feel that by asking them this way i'll probably get a better answer. I have a basic understanding of my above questions right now, but i'd like to have a better-than-basic understanding if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds to this, I appreciate the help.

1. Almost every Rom is tweaked for better performance, skins, and programs. Generally speaking the custom roms are created to improve things such as speed, battery life, and usability. Some people prefer the look and feel of a stock rom so really it's all up to your personal preferences. I recommend flashing all kinds of different roms and reading about them and noting what you like about each of them and then get the one that fits your preferences best or cook your own rom when you learn how. However, make sure you
UNLOCK your Pro once you get it or you'll have a very expensive paper weight.
2. Different radios work better in different areas of the country..better reception..better signal.. service.. whatever..check
here for more info.
3. Registry tweaking programs such as PHM RegEdit are good to have..but you should know how to use them first..lol..
Advanced Config is a good program as well. I know for my Touch Diamond they have TF3D Config..but it says "Diamond TF3D Config" so I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Pro..you'd have to look into it. Different File Explorers such as Total Commander are good. Just read and read and read more..you'll figure it out lol
I hope this helped a bit..if I did..don't forget the thanks button..
