I'm new to rooting just tried it yesterday and I was interested in the different Kernels and what different things they do.

So far I've read the most about
KingKlick #4
and HydraKernel

What is the communities opinions of these and are there any other really good ones out there

Right now I'm running the Hyrda 1.115 #1, who else is running this one, are you having any problems?
 
It's kind of a trial and error thing ya know. You'll use the one that suits your needs most. I've used stock HTC kernels and a couple of BFS's from king, but am now enjoying adrynalynes custom kernel for Virtuous. I don't overclock my phone nor do I want to. I don't benchmark my phone I just want it stable, great battery life, and fast in that order :D

I am using the same Hydra Kernel you are on my rooted incredible. What's nice about this one is that in a "non" use state, it will automatically "underclock" the phone thus conserving battery power..It did however NOT work with one of the custom roms..When I changed to Skyraider, and installed the Hydra Kernel...Phone Locked up..no big deal just flash back to backup..
