I just want clearify before I attempt root as it seems a bit different than when I did my phone. I need to root the device, then I can unlock the bootloader, then I can flash roms? So unlocking and rooting are not the same?

No, you need to unlock the bootloader first on a Xoom, otherwise you won't be able to flash anything (including the root.) Note that the unlock will wipe all the data off your Xoom, so be sure to back as much up as you can.

Let's not forget that rooting and unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty.

If I follow the second link (unlock bootloader for WiFi) then I can use lordAIOtool to root before flashing a ROM? Is there a reason to root if i can unlock the bootloader and load a ROM VIA the second link provided? Also what recovery does everyone recommend? I know of CWM from my phone, is the eos recovery any better or are they the same?

You can try LordAIOTool directly! It unlocks your device too
