I know that this thread has probably been created before, but thought I'd refresh it for this Mytouch thread and new users. (Use Barcode Scanner from the market to scan the QR Codes and download the apps)
Personal favorite and most customizable in my opinion is Sweeter Home 2
This barcode won't take you to the market, because this newer version isn't in the market, but it is safe and beautiful! You have 5 screen in a cross format + A center, left, right, up, down. Very unique! All free!
There are tons of themes already made by users of it, and you can edit and create your own. You can have text windows, picture windows, contacts windows, application trays, widgets, all on your home screen. Its amazing! Trust me its the best!
Panda Home
This is probably the next most customizable, its pretty neat with the features that it allows, the only trouble is its Chinese designed so sometimes its difficult to get much help with problems. But over it is improving very quickly and is quite good! You can have 1-11 screens. There are hideable docks you can fill with apps, which follow you to whichever screen you are on. Limited number of themes, but many on the coming. However, you can apply OpenHome and I believe Ahome themes. Free!
FreshFace
This is the home replacement that Tmobile puts in their app pack, its not the best, its quite memory intensive, most home replacements are, but there are limited features to it and its not very customizable. You can have 3, 5, or 7 screens. Limited number of downloadable themes. Free!

For purchase for $2.99
I haven't tried it. But this is what I know about it. Tons of themes! Many free, but many for sale about $0.99 - $1.99. There are two customizable drawers that pull up from the bottom of the screen. One for all the apps, the other for most recent or running apps. 4 or 5 screens Up, down, left, right. There is a dock you can add apps to at the bottom of the screen. Can create folders and organize apps. Can apply a lot of themes, icons, and some great customizations.
OpenHome - $3.99, many free themes, many paid themes too. Lite version available.
Sweet! This is really improving! Its always been pretty great, but now with version 4 there are some great new features. Tons of themes. And great customizations. Can create multiple screens. I really like this one, its another favorite of mine. Developed by the same people that make Better Keyboard, which is a great keyboard, can have custom skins on your keyboard that will match your theme.
Ahome $4.99, Free themes, paid themes. Lite version also.
Made by the same developers that create FreshFace. Very customizable. Can have multiple screens. One great thing about this app is that there are two trays on the lower part of the screen, to the left and right, where you can have the a search on the left and then a drawer for apps on the right. Another neat feature is instead of the traditional drawer button at the bottom there is a place where some default apps are - dialer, contacts, browser, and maps. Its a nice idea! A lot of themes, very fun!
Home++ Beta Free
This has an interesting wrap around screen, you continuously scroll to the right or left which then circles back around to the same screen you started from. The homescreen is very nice, it shows the date, time, etc, the battery, phone signal, at the bottom, on what is called a power strip. You can scroll along this strip with small icons of contacts, dialer, browser, apps drawer, notifications, bookmarks, a task manager, and then the normal items seen at the top of the screen. Number of screens can be between 3 -7. The main homescreen has a rotating clock widget with date. Many other customizations. Like it!
GDE - The New Home Experience about $3.75
Its a rotating cube. The different screens are located on a cube that is rotated, however this can changed to just fade in and out of side by side screens. Customizable and very interesting, however I haven't used it, it does seem to have its features. Its new and still has some force closes. Give it a try. There are many different skins, just search for GDE in the market.
SlideScreen Pro $6.99, free version also
There is a free version, but with some limited features. This replacement is incredibly unique! There are bars. with text, twitter, contacts, finances, calendar, etc. Everything is color coded to indicate differences between the different categories. I would say the best way to understand this concept is to follow the link and watch the video, or just download it and try it yourself. Its very smooth and developed well. Very nice home app!
These are all that I can think of. I would personally suggest that you try all of them. They each have this interesting parts. Hope this helps! Good Luck!
