Default Best ROM for USA AT&T User?

Wow the selection of ROMs for my shiny new SG2 is amazing. I got mine from Expansys and was going to stick with the stock ROM but the constant switching from 3G to H+ was driving me nuts and I would lose data connectivity every few seconds. As a result I decided to give a custom rom a try. Right now I have the Cognition S2 rom installed and will test it out for a few days but I was wondering if some of you have already gone down this path and found a good/stable rom for AT&T. Most important to me is stability, battery life and reliable data/call connectivity.

There is no Best ROM, different stokes for different folks and all. You really should just test around and see what works best for you.

I guess I shouldn't have said "best" - what I really meant what - looking for some success reports from people running particular roms/modems with AT&T. More often than not reply posts are from users outside of the USA so I was finding it tough to gauge issues here in the states. Of course this is to be expected since none of our carriers are selling the phone yet.

Illicit Hero - thanks I did turn off fast dormancy based on the recommendation in the Cognition instructions.

ROMs are generally non region specific and the most you may have todo is put in the correct apn settings for Internet and mms, but there is a thread for at&t apn settings so you should be covered there.

As far as modems, just work your way though them till you find one that works well for you, your best bet is starting the with newest and working down till you find a good one.

^ what he said. There is no region specific roms. All roms work fine, just enter the apn if it doesn't register automatically.
I use leomar rom for stock, it has every possible customization and theme available thru rom kitchen app. And then there is cm 7 for pure android fun.

Well said! I'm on AT&T and KH3 modem is working very well, then again, I can't remember a modem that wasn't good with the exception of KG1.
