I like ChompSMS a lot better. It has a cleaner design and when you change the look of one conversation, you change all. I couldn't find that with Handcent and that annoyed the hell out of me having to try to make every single conversation look the same.
If you change the layout/theme of your conversations from the Conversation List, then you change all the conversations. If you change the layout from within a conversation itself, then you only change the one conversation. Changing a specific conversation overrides the global.

Thanks for all of your input. I guess there are a couple complaints regarding Google voice and ATT friends not getting texts and a couple force closes. Other than that sounds like the majority loves it. I'll be trying out.

Can you use chomp and handcent or is it important to have one sms app installed at a time?

I tried doing that. It only changed some of my messages. It seems as though if change anything within the conversation itself, it stays that way. I installed Handcent again and overall... I like the look of ChompSMS a little more.
