Depends on what you want. Faria's "the real thing" seems very good and comes with apps and will configure itself for your network (GPRS). But there does seem to be some issues with it for some people. You'll have to read through the thread to see if / how that might work for you.

NotTooSmart's Vanilla, and XPlore 1.1 are both based off the mUn aRTM rom. These are both very fast and very lean (vanilla) roms. This is what I personally like (I'll add on the apps that I need/want). Both of them have their pluses. I ran on NotTooSmart's for over a week with pretty much no problems at all. I switched to XPlore 1.1 to try it out and compare to see how it differs. For me there is almost no difference between the two, other than XPlore may be a little cleaner. I have had a couple of lockups when using WiFi and Opera on XPlore (never had that on NotTooSmart's but then I really didn't use Opera much on it, but did use WiFi a lot). I'd call them a coin toss, but lean towards the Xplore one just because the rom cooker is so active on the forums (NotTooSmart was too and thats why I moved to his from Faria's, but he's since received a promotion at work, and not as available now).

The older WM6 ROMs are also good, but require more tweaking to get them up and running fairly stable. I liked MBE before these latest ones, but it took a lot of tweaking to get it to where I'd call it stable (and I never got WiFi to work reliably with it).

Good luck. Dig and read, and then jump in.

Cool Xplore 1.1 is the best

I almost tried every ROM released until now, for me the best is Xplore 1.1 i faced some problems with WIFI but i found that 3rd party Apps is causing this issue except this the ROM is Great, for Faria ROM it is also great but it have a problem in Battery Drain, in the Xplore ROM you will never face this issue ......

I have found the WM6 MB is the best out of the box. No Mods Needed.

I installed Resco Keyboard app, and after that Spb mobile shell; after that i have issues with Wifi, so i un installed the resco app only and after that i did not face that problem, and i think spb shell is causing some freezing issues; i also modified these registry files :

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1

but i think the cause of the problem is 3rd apps, for u to test it, hardreset then try wifi if it works then install apps one by one after each app installation reset ur ppc and test ur wifi, this is the only way to know the cause of the problem.
