Have you TRIED more than 5 different ROMS ?

I know everyone is tired of the BETTER ROM threads. And everyone have preferences. We'll these are my preferences. So with these preferences in mind, suggest me a rom. My last rom was 2.1 from January 2010, I thought I wouldn't need to upgrade again, until I saw CHT.

I'm looking for a ROM with :
-Speedy Sense 2.5 (for the purposes of CHT) maybe one with compress graphics?
-loaded apps, but not at the expense of speed.
-minimal cab installs out the box (for fixes) after upgrade.
-MATURE rom.

So from your PERSONAL experiences, which roms best matches my preferences. I'm hoping you guys can save me hours and hours of try different roms.
