Default Need a rom

Alright, I need a rom that's stable, and not too sluggish. I swear I've looked at numerous different roms, I just want to know your personal opinions on what you're using. I don't need a bunch of fancy features, just a rom that works and isn't too laggy.

It all pretty much depends on your preference. I can't recommend sense roms since I'm not a big sense fan but I hear newSENSE is a good rom that has a lot of "CM like" features. Then there's strapped's roms which I hear is another fav of many people. For aosp there's some on rom manager and a few here on xda as well including cm7.2.0 Stable which cyanogenmod just released (also on rom manager).

Before there was a somewhat stable ICS rom, my go-to rom was always CM7.
It's extremely light imo.

I've tried strapped's supreme sense rom for a couple of days, it was a really great rom, just liked ics too much to stick with it.

Newsense was also a great rom, but it wasnt my taste.

As Sparksco stated, it's all a matter of preference. Strapped has one of the best analogies I've ever heard. He said something like " it's like buying sneakers, everyone's taste is different. Because we all use them differently. " The best thing to do is to try various Roms. Flash one try it for a few days, at least. See if it suits you . Also read up on the Rom before you Flash. Make sure it has the things you need it to have, or what it lacks that you can't do without.
