Default System App Remover Best Option?

I know this might be blasphemy to say, but after messing around with Super Clean ROM I think rooting and using System App Remover is a better option.

I missed the silly things with the Super Clean ROM like the puzzle sms or missed call. I also enjoyed the stock calculator and alarm clock a lot better. After a few weeks of Super Clean ROM, I used the posted Odin tools instructions to do a factory reset and installed the Voodoo kernel.

After which, I installed System App Remover and got rid of all the junk apps and put on Launcher Pro. I find the phone to be as speedy as Super Clean ROM and love having some of the "silly" perks back.

Has anyone else gone this route?

I am using a stock ROM with the Voodoo kernel. I have unwanted apps 'frozen' with Titanium backup.
I won't be using a custom ROM untill there's a real AOSP build out. IMO (and no offense to anyone) there's not much benefit to using something like a "clean" ROM other than personal preference.

Which apps did you remove from the stock ROM? I removed a couple so far with Titanium Backup in "Chuck Norris" Mode. Is there a list of system apps out there that the system doesn't need?

Why not just use the pick-n-pack rom? It's much less work and the phone will be faster.

The phone will use less memory at runtime IF you pack less apps, but the same effect can be achieved by freezing apps with Titanium backup. What really helps right now is the Voodoo kernel. If you want to experiment with the pick and pack though go ahead (= But as far as giving straight advice, both methods are equally viable.

I've been using pick-n-pack since day one. It also clears up memory to install other apps you want. (not that this phone has a lack of memory)
