I was tempted to try the EOS JB ROM but kept reading about people being disappointed with it.

Zero issues with the OTA so far, for me.
Only one person mentioned being disappointed with EOS JB (which is brand new and in its early stages of enhancements) as opposed to EOS ICS (which is fully mature and magnificent). Let me tell you...the EOS JB Rom will only get better and is 100% fully functional now. I've never heard of that commenter and he/she probably doesn't know some of the tricks to increase smoothness. Also, stock JB will not incorporate linaro enhancements...

I expect big things from EOS with a Jelly Bean flavored ROM, but for right now, reading through the thread, it isn't there yet. The OTA is fully functional, so I'm going to stick with it until the EOS team has a release candidate.

OP asked for everyone's thoughts! These are mine.

Have used Teameos and Cyanogenmod in the past, current and future. Technically I had a Canadian Xoom and it is poorly supported by Moto Canada so I jumped into the custom ROMs. Makes for a much better experience. Fortunately the developers support the WiFi Xoom better then Motorolla Canada. Thank you.

Used both briefly.
Moto's is missing the hotword capability in google now.
EOS has it, but I thought you could hotword from the home screen instead of being inside google now.

EOS no doubt for me as I am from the UK and moto hasn't even released ICS over here yet plus eos sorts bugs out in a day or two Motorola would take weeks

Motorola update for now - two big reasons (for me):

- Stachre's updates always properly flash the bootloader and system images while doing full wipes. I love this...I feel it gives me a fresh start and it provides upgrade integrity.

- Stock kernel is nice for now and everything feels smooth although I havent tried the recent nightlies of EOS - so it could be comparable.

However, EOS will no doubt add awesome functionality and more than likely Linaro improvements. When this happens I will go back to EOS.

We all win big when the OTA's hit devices though. They are both crucial (Stock and EOS)

Having not used the official OTA, I can't say for sure, but I would say if you're familiar with using beta roms and working around small bugs, definitely go with EOS. If you want something stable, official.
Since the radios were fixed, EOS is pretty stable, considering. As long as you're not one of those people that expects a rom that's still in development to be perfect, then bashes the rom in the forums when it's not, I would recommend trying it.

Can't compare the official JB update but EOS 3 nightlies have been faster than the official ICS build by Motorola, so I am happy plus I love the quick toggles that are found on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. EOS only gets better and I look forward to updates improving speed.
