SH is nice, but too much trouble for most users to put up with configuring...even w/the available themes it was too much of a pain the arse for me to customize. It could be good if your willing to use a theme as-is, or want to spend the time to learn how to work with it...

Regarding Helix FCs - sounds like you're referring to Helix 2.x, which will FC repeatedly on any ROM except Koush's. It's not designed to run on other ROMs or stock Droids.

Helix 1.x is very fast and stable. I have found issues w/Beatiful Home widget and the 1.3Beta1 version of Helix (though 1.3 is a beta, work in progress).
