welcome to the forum!
in general, the rom itself does not necessarily influene the wireless communications, like you asked for, which is why, for instance, in Irda, gprs and gsm there are absolutely no differences.
bluetooth is slightly different as most blueangels with wm2003 have the broadcom bluetooth stack, which is not included in the roms, so setting up your device works differently, but on another os, everything is different, so that's no point.

there is a slight wi-fi bug, that sometimes, when you try and switch it on, it will turn off again, but there is a known workaround (to not activate it in comm manager but in wi-fi manager the first time after a soft reset).

all those points concern all the roms beginning with wm5.
so in conclusion: all communications will work (with minor adjustments), you can pick any rom you like.

next thing is, picking a rom. really nobody can help you there, look at the threads of the roms, read the posts, decide for yourself.

and in the future, please refrain from opening new threads for topics, discussed dozens of times before. use the search feature, read the wiki, read random posts, whatever. the forum is to be kept as clean and slim as possible, which means, you can bump old threads by asking new questions, or simply use the Q&A thread, to be found -=here=- (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501989).
