Default Best 2.2 or 2.3 ROM For Aria?

So I have the Aria... I'm using it as a secondary phone.. got unlocked so when I travel internationally I can use it with foreign SIMs and not carry my Inspire...

I'm trying to decide between ROMs and I am curious what your opinion is for the best for me. On the Inspire I tried the Gingerbread rom, but the battery life was no good... is that an issue with the Aria Gingerbread Rom (CM7?) As well?

I tried liberated, but there are several and I can't really tell the difference between them. Ideally I want the BEST possible battery life, performance is less imperative as I'm only using it for a couple apps\phone calls when I am abroad.

Please advise. Thanks as always!

Depends on what is important to you.

CM7 is very nice and a lot of work has gone into it and it feels really nice.

FR008 is also very nice and keeps the HTC Sense feel.

Well as I said, battery is the utmost importance, but with Inspire's Gingerbread ROM it lost a lot of battery since it was a poorly ported ROM... is this the case with CM7?

And what do you mean with FR008? Is that the Liberated 2.2.2?

Battery life with CM7 is great. You don't have to worry about it.

FR008 is Liberated Froyo 2.2 while Liberated 2.2.2 is like the name says the version 2.2.2 of Froyo. Battery life with Liberated 2.2.2 is beyond great. I personally use that rom and if you ask me, I wouldn't change it for any other.

Cool, yeah I'm on the Lib 2.2.2 ... I just like some of the GUI on the Gingerbread OS... hehe... why do you not go to Ginger? Isn't it better to have the latest OS?

So now I'm confused... if someone said it was alright, the other said it was a little bad, I'd feel like it was in the middle, but one person said CM7 is great, and the other said it's awful... so which is it?

Who'd the credible one? lol.

Its not bad honestly I can get the same amount of usage as if I am on liberated 2.2.2

Signatures are fancy.

Cool, thanks for affirming that, that's what I was hoping to hear.

Just out of curiosity, what do you like about Gingerbread vs Froyo. I notice there's a lot of opinions, and some of the visuals are similar, but it seems CM7 doesn't have sense, but besides that, what are your opinions?

Cm7 running stock clock speeds blows my fr008 (stock CPU speed) battery life away.never ran 2.2 overclocked so I can't compare that.çm7 with CPU oc'ed to 806 gives me close to what I had on 2.2 default clock speed.
