Carl I'm still on mj5.. Should I update to anything else or stay?

Haven't updated in.. Like since day 1 really.
that would be your call, when I first went to kitkat MGL and then back to JB ROM I could not stay after KitKat. but you have still have that option as long as you do a backup, and just install MGL KitKat. @Walter.White is still using MGL kitkat bootloader last I heard so he could go back to JB. He might give you his opinion. ;) once you install NC2 bootloader your stuck.

@resac Make sure you have USB debuging checked ( from developer option you get that by pressing Build number repeatedly for 7or more times) when you start EFS Professional look at your home screen phone and give it access when the pop up shows

I just finished and it worked Only thing is when it restarted my old custom screen from custom install was there but knox was at 00. Will this go away? Next question is if I root and install a custom root, knox will be tripped and there is no way to reset? Lastly safe strap doesnt work correct?

Us tr.apk to root? Link to it in op. No this root will not trip knox flag. The custom lock screen will go away only if you stay oem with no rooting

I used towel root to root. After I install safestrap I can install any compatible rom and it wont trip knox? I could have sworn I saw some posts saying the newest update isnt compatable with safe strap. Just want to be sure before I do anything. Also any recommendations for a custom?
