By just rooting your phone you will be able to install the apps that require root access. But, the main rom guys; Cyanogen, Modaco, Enomther, they make improvements to the stock rom. Many of the improvements they make come straight from Google and the source code they release before it's filtered down to the OTA update that everyone gets, other improvements they make get added upstream and included in Google's OTA updates. So basically, by installing a custom rom you are on the bleeding edge of android software, you get the updates before the general public does. If you stick to major stable releases you will have a very stable phone.
