Root help with rooting my X

[csmoth19]

I know this is annoying to yall but I have had my X since the day it came out and not to say that I'm bored but I just wanna change things up a notch. I have tried every launcher under the sun but I just wanted to ask a few questions about rooting. First off, what are the advantages and disadvantages of rooting? Second, is cyanogen mod the best? I hear good things but like I said, I'm new to all this. I would really appreciate yalls help on this.

Advantages of rooting is haveing more controll over your phone. Can make it the way you want. Better battery life. OWN YOUR PHONE

Disadvantages- could brick phone but SBF can fix and "void" warrenty

Hard to say what rom is the "Best". All the devs out there put alot of time and effort in making these roms. Now Cyan has if not been around the longest and is growing. Finding the best rom is up to you cause what might be good for me might not be for you.
