There are quite a few solid roms. Look at what people say about them and try it out. I was on kitkat for a few months, can't name a single kitkat feature that I use, so went back to 4.3. Now everything is solid with plenty of features. You really gotta just try some

I really like slim roms. They have been the most stable and have a great feature set. 4.3 and 4.4 have been excellent.

I had to switch recovery when I flashed back to 4.3. the kitkat twrp may not be able to flash 4.3 roms.

Cm11 m3 snapshot+banks gapps...works for me, I don't use a lot of those features from other ROMs like bean,slim or PAC so I just use xposed framework if I'm missing features..BTW does anyone know if there's a hellkat ROM around ? I didn't find it in goomanager

For the most stable its SnowJB rom (use with mysteryemotionz 6.1 kernel if you want more speed). For the best balanced themable/features/performance i go with the official cm10.2 rom and use the neighborhood kernel with it along with xposed app. I don't find kitkat worth it yet because of lack of gameplay performance and theming features.
