i used sky raider athena for a little while, and have been running the CM7 nightlies pretty exclusively. Just some thoughts of things i was thinking of trying out, that i maybe didnt give enough time to when i first rooted.
Warm Z two point two
Incredibly re-engineered
Redemptive Revolution(ran the sensless version for awhile)
saw a rom called Magnolia on xda that looked nice and seemed like people liked
Incredibly Re-engineered Z
or possibly Liquid Metal
Those are on my list to try out, i have been on CM for awhile and got out of the loop on what other roms are being developed as most of the above have been around for awhile.
