Root or no root?

[PatyCake]

I am a proud Dinc 2 owner since april 28 2011. I love it. First smartphone i have ever owned and it works wonders. Here's the catch, the Inc S got the 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 update awhile back, and i really want that update. But if i dont, should i root? And if 'yes', i would like some reasons.
Thanks

AdFree is reason enough for me to root.

AdFree, Overclock/Undervolt, custom options, tethering, and ROMs from some amazing Developers.
That is why I will always ROOT ROOT!
I would NOT root if I were at all uncomfortable with having to mess around and devote time to making things work the way I like'm. Sometimes stock is just fine, and sometimes you just get the bug...

What is overclock/undervolt?
Also, can i root 2.3.4?

You cannot root from 2.3.4 directly. You will have to downgrade to 2.3.3 then root from there. Take a look at the links in my signature.

Overclock means running the phone's processor faster than the stock speed. It makes the phone a bit more responsive. Undervolt is reducing the voltage to the processor. It gives you better battery life.

Best sense 3.0/3.5 android 2.3.5 ROM?

MikRunny is right up there.

I flashed Andy's Bone Stock 5.10.605.9 ROM (Latest update for the Incredible 2), and then flashed a Sense 3.0 Patch. You get the lock screen, Weather, Connect To PC, Phone, and a few other little things like live wallpapers, all from Sense 3.0. I recommend that route if you like the stock feel but want the freedom of root (goodbye VZW garbage).

Andybone has moved on to the Rezound so GingerBangSense may be a better choice.

Another vote for MikRunny. Been using it for a couple weeks now and I really like it. I think I'll stick with this till a good ICS ROM comes out.
