Battery life is one of those things that depends on so many factors but the truth is I find Scott's ROMS a bit better than stock.
I use Exchange (push) and have 2 pop accounts checking every 2 hours and windows live to check hotmail every 2 hours.
At home my battery will last a day and a half but here at work I get half a day (bad signal strength here in the office).
So again, I think battery life is subjective.

As far as Mighty's ROM is concerned, I tried it a few revisions ago and thought it was nice but you will definitely run into out of memory errors. I stated earlier that it left me with something like 33% free ram on boot with TF3D running.

Scott's ROMs are great because Scott has felt our pain when it comes to the lack of 128 meg of RAM for our VZW Touch Pros so he developes his ROMs with the limited memory in mind. All other ROMs are built with all kinds of bloat since they have the extra 128 meg. They can also run with a page pool of 32 meg because they have plenty to spare.

Hope that helped and wasn't too wordy.
