Stock or custom rom?

I got a Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile) on ebay and I'm waiting for shipping. I plan to give it to my GF on her birthday. I might get it a few days before her birthday so I have some time to play with it. I'm not sure if I should leave it stock with ICS and Samsung UI or if should I flash any Jellybean rom with pure vanilla UI.

What advantages does TouchWiz offer from Vanilla? Which would you recommend me for a first time android user (coming from iOS)?
