Default [Q] What's the best ROM available?

Last month I sold my iPad and bought an AT&T Galaxy Tab and haven't regretted it one bit. I carefully followed the instructions on the "How to flash AT&T Tab to make calls page" (link below). Everything works great and I have no complaints but I am not really sure how current the ROM is that's I'm running (the one in the first post linked on the page below). I see here in the dev forum that their are several to choose from.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273

Any advice on the best one to use? Another consideration would be what (if any) advantage I would gain from upgrading and having to reload/setup everything again.

Thanks,
Richard

all functional roms (roto, modaco, overcome) are based on the same samsung rom (jmi), and are similar.
other roms, like cm-7, are not fully functional now.
the best difference is in the kernel:
roto are based on samsung file system and modaco and overcome on ext4 file system.
you have also a kernel that are overclocked (seems stable, but provably the life of the cpu was no than longer)....
Phone model: LG Nexus 4

ROM: ASYLUM CM 10.1

Roto-JMI v2 is what I'm using and it is GREAT. I have a T-Mobile Tab and stock ROM was G-A-R-B-A-G-E!!!!!!! I've tried all of Roto's ROMs and no complaints, but by far for me JMI v2 is the best.

What I like about this ROM:

- Very fast webpage loading (Miren and Dolphin HD browsers)
- Very Smooth scrolling within the UI
- Battery lasts much longer

I will edit once I think of more Pro's.


What I don't like about this ROM:

- Extremely minor!!!!! I had to find .apk's for some apps that weren't showing up in the Marketplace, BUT I have everything I wanted and simply backed everything up (with Titanium Backup) so I'm good to go.
- AT&T U-Verse app
- Slingbox app (yes I paid $30 for this app originally)

Looking at the ROM that is available from the post below that I used, what ROM am I using, i.e. what is it commonly called here on XDA?

You can get your sling box back by re-installing the stock ATT Build.prop and clearing the cache on the Market app. Next time you open the market Slingbox will be there along with every other apk. PM me if you need the build.prop


To the OP, I am also having great success on my ATT Tab with the Roto JMI ROM. Everything and I mean everything is better!
