Root Views on the custom recoveries available?

Before I root my new toy I'd appreciate some feedback on the custom recoveries available for the N7. Not new to rooting phones (this is my first tab :)), but have had a couple of annoying/bad experiences with custom recoveries on my old Desire (until 4Ext Recovery came along), as well as versions of TWRP & CWM on my SGS3. So would appreciate any thoughts and feedback on which is/are most stable, and restore backups successfully. Ta

What I use it for on a daily basis is to flash the updates for cm nightlies. That's it. I don't need to flash over 10 files at once. Now on my phone I think theres a twrp that I might use more but with me using it for a specific purpose and that purpose only I don't need all the other options. So it comes down to looks and cwm has twrp beat in cosmetics hands down. It looks "cooler" when you show it off ya know? Lol twrp is great like I said above but it just needs to new a little more polished before I'll switch for good. Plus I payed (donated) for cwm touch so I might as well use it ya know lol.
