[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Stock MikFroyo (stock as in no themes)

Netarchy 4.3.1 Havs, CFS, no-sbc (gonna update to 4.3.2 with sbc)

1. Fastest, most stable sense rom

2. I lose nothing (hdmi, 4g works)

3. Regular updates and releases

I also use Myn RLS5 with MS's SBC #15 v7

What I liked about that:

1. Beautiful rom, performed well.

2. Still didn't lose anything, hdmi and 4g worked

3. Regular updates, releases and when RLS5 was released, I got it a day or 2 early because I'm a regular in the IRC chat he frequents (super freaking cool).

I will eventually add Cyanogen and MIUI to my rotation when:

1. They get 4g and hdmi working. Well, at least 4g, the reason I bought the phone in the first place.

I have used CM in the passed for my MyTouch Slide and G2. What I liked about that:

1. Stable as all hell and very good performance.

2. Battery life far surpassed the stock rom from either phone.

3. Wider customization options from regular stock Android or Sense/Expresso

I have never used MIUI or any of the other roms here.

Three things I don't like about each:

Mikfroyo 4.4

1. Battery life is abysmal unless you add battery hacks, extended battery or an SBC kernel (I'm adding an sbc kernel to help). I can get 12 hours of usage out of it if I'm careful (no facebooking, twitter, browsing...just text, phone calls and my rss widget used) but I often find myself with it plugged into my car charger or computer before the end of the day in case I go somewhere and don't want it to die.

2. There isn't nearly as many themes for this as there is for Myn's Warm. The Slayer Cyan Dragon theme is awesome, but it's really heavy on the battery usage, which is already quite bad.

3. 4g cuts out sometimes. It almost always turns back on without a reboot, but it seems when I'm in motion in my car, it struggles to keep 4g despite signal being strong in my whole city.

Myn rls5

1. Isn't as quick as MikFroyo. It performs on par (if not a little better) than stock, but doesn't have quite the zippy, iPhone-level quickness of MikFroyo

2. The widgets are themed, the apps aren't. What's the point of having a sexy, dark messaging widget when the thing glows whiter than a hospital hallway when you open it?

3. A lot of the themes actually drag down the quality of the looks of the rom. You have to look hard and spend a lot of time to find a theme that actually improves on the original theme.

CM

1. No 4g or hdmi, enough said. To their credit, they are really working hard to get it and that's why they're the best.

2. The stock widgets on stock rom suck or don't exist. No messaging widget (just the iPhone style app that opens it), facebook widget doesn't work with any known theme. You sacrifice quite a bit for performance and the original taste of vanilla in terms of extras and features...but those of us who use vanilla don't care, do we fellas? Besides, there's always handcent

3. Couldn't think of a third one. I'm a big fan of CM, even without a good messaging widget/app.

Again, haven't used MIUI or the rest so I can't give an opinion.

Also, if you feel the need to quote me on any of these and give me crap, keep in mind they are just opinions :) All our devs here freaking rock and all their stuff is fantastic.
