My Note 2 had been running CleanROM for over a year, and I hadn't updated or done anything to it in that time. I was having some issues with lag and such but the final straw was yesterday my GPS quit working completely. When I tried turning it on my phone would freeze and I'd get a "System UI has stopped working" notification. So today I decided I'd start fresh and go back to stock 4.1.1 (I'm 99% sure that's what was on my phone when I got it) and used ODIN to flash back to that.

My question is, where do I go from here? I want to use one of the new ROMs utilizing the 4.3 or 4.4.2 versions, but I'm afraid I'm missing something important. I know not to just take the OTA updates, and I already installed (I think) the 4.3 MJ9 firmware update, but I'm not sure because it still says --- Android version 4.1.1 ; Baseband version I605VRUEMJ9 ---- Is this correct? Am I safe to install a 4.3-based ROM or do I need to update something else?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Yes you are.. Go ahead and flash away..
If you have problems connecting to wifi, then just go ahead and flash the MJ9 firmware again. But other than that you should be fine:good:
