Lightbulb Which firmware to use daily and why

Hi people,
Maybe we can make a poll to say which firmware we are using daily and try to explain which are the main advantages/why-to-use and disadvantages/bugs.

This might help new users to decide which firmware to use in different situations based on our experiences

I go with the VegaComb, its fast, quite stable(its still a beta), good interface. I also tried the Corvus, but I like Vegacomb better, because of the speed and interface.

Vote for Paul's, it gives me the widest set of features i need. The others lack something here and there: connectivity, drivers, etc...

I´m using VegaComb at the moment. You can see that this version is made for tablets so it´s far more intuitive.
There are still plenty of bugs (bluetooth, camera, some apps compatibility) so I´m looking forward to get another update and see the evolution of this

I'm with vegacomb right now and in the coming days or weeks a faster version should come out but its personal experience just try each rom and see which one suits you best and remember the Vega is not brickable!!!! (BEST TABLET IN THE WORLD LOL)

I've been using corvus for some time but I can't fin any good firmware to get my bluetooth Keyboard working, not even corvus.
Maybe 2.3.4 will have a better chance for bluetooth HID devices.

I have only had my Vega a few days but have tried most of the roms out there.

Modaco R8. Quite nice. Seems fast and stable and would be my main rom if Corvus5 didn't exist.
Vegacomb. Looks beautiful and I will use it as my daily rom as soon as a few oddities are ironed out - amazing work!
CM7. The couple of nightlies I tried seemed buggy and had essential items missing.
Corvus5. The most enjoyable, complete and stable rom and I've always come back to it.
