if you are new stick to the stock ..research on your own this is a development forum and there is no "best rom"

my openion is that the stock is kinda perfect for me with
-volume amplifying mod "just by changing some values in a system's file"
-xposed framework with some typical modules
-removing blotware apps and freezing "samsung apps" app with titanium backup

No such thing as 'best ROM'. It all up to an user. However, I always like Slim. It bare minimum, I install only what I want to use, no unnecessary carp. As for Kernel, that depends on your final choice of ROM selection. Some ROM comes already with custom Kernel, if not obviously the choice of AOSP Kernels. If you do decide to stay with TouchWiz, there're custom Kernel for that too. Down the bottom line, you need to do some research first and see what ROM pleases you. But to honest, most are not that much of different. Only a handful would have a feature really stand out and no others have.

for those who need to know what kernel is - In computing, the kernel is a computer program that manages input/output requests from software and translates them into data processing instructions for the central processing unit and other electronic components of a computer. The kernel is a fundamental part of a modern computer's operating system. A kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer

f4ktion (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568479) is a good Kernel, but it not for stock ROM, only AOSP compatible ROMs, such as Slimrom or CM. For stock TW ROM only the Vikinger (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545244)
