Need help choosing a ROM (2.1)

I've been looking through all these new Eris dumped roms and can't decide what the most fast/stable/completed rom would be. Anyone have any suggestions on which rom I should choose that would have those three characteristics?
Looking for speed, cam/vid, google voice, goggles, visual voice-mail, no mms problems, least amount of bugs/freezes.

Thanks for your help

Re: Need help choosing a ROM (2.1)

what do you guys do about backing up and restoring your text messages when you change roms? I have several thousand over 6 months or so that I don't want to lose.

Re: Need help choosing a ROM (2.1)

@Brera, Damage Control, it's very smooth.

@Willpower101, I'm using SMS Backup & Restore from the market to backup my sms. You can also try backup for root users if you want to backup your sms, apks, settings, dictionary, and so on.

Re: Need help choosing a ROM (2.1)

yeah, between business, school, and a girlfriend or two, LOL

[edit] GREAT program! Just backed up 3249 txt messages since october.
Now if only I could find a program that would back up my old winmo txt messags in the same xml file format, then combine the two files for restore.

Re: Need help choosing a ROM (2.1)

Willpower: I tried Fresh, Damage, and DarchLegend, and I'm sticking with DarchLegend 4.1, it's just a lot more stable. Little things, like having to log into your google account every reboot annoy the crap out of me, and it's nonexistant on Darch. Also, it doesn't seem any slower than Damage's rom.

As for backing up your SMS, try SMS Backup, it actually syncs them to a label in your gmail account automatically.

fresh is not a person, flipzmode is the person who makes fresh.

just saying.

also Darchlegend 4.2.2 is much faster than 4.1
