Comparison between roms?

From what I've gathered so far, and I'm still a noob at this as I've only had my ppc since ~august all roms are basically the same and the difference is the apps that are included. A good example of this would be might rom vs juicy rom. Both run the same sys and have exactly the same fixes and problems at any given time unless one of the devs of said rom got a jump on a problem and re-releases rather quickly but Juicy's is a little more stripped down and includes basics like pim backup (which should have been included in the stock rom ^^) and mighty goes further by adding things like gyrator etc. You should basically be looking at the list of extra apps installed. When there's a driver update released if one cook picks it up and says it made his pie taste better then every other cook will do the exact same the next day.

What I would still like to know is why no one is offering the most basic stripped down of everything you can install from a cabfile rom (not even opera included) and then including a cab package with all these extras. From what I understand if I flash a rom with a certain version of opera and then try and upgrade it from a cab it will give me an error since the program is built right into the rom. But then beggers can't be choosers and if you want to stay on the bleeding edge with things like fm radio etc you can only really choose what's being offered.

Main thing again is just look through the authors list of installed programs, updated apps/drivers, extras etc and decide what you really want in your systems default setup. It's usually also helpful to check the last page of a rom thread before flashing it to see if there are any unresolved issues with the rom you're looking at.
