Root Official Samsung 4.4.2 Firmware + Root?

My first post woohoo!

Ok, back on topic. As most of you may know Samsung has been releasing Official 4.4.2 KitKat firmware updates for a whole slew of their smartphones. Well lucky me, the S4 Active made the list. Awesome rite? Well... wait for it... Although I am an AT&T customer living in the U.S. I am unable to update my S4 Active because it is the international unlocked version. What can i say, I like having my freedom. There is no telling when or if an OTA or Kies update will ever come for the TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) version of the OS on the phone at the present time. My question to you, the masters of all that is Android is... If I flash my S4A using one of the firmware versions located sammobile.com which one if any is the going to be the best for me? I need to have an English option, being the only language I know. If it happens to not remove my calling/4G/Wi-Fi capabilities that would be a BIG plus as well. Although I believe I have all of the needed files to backup, flash, and root my device downloaded to my PC, the extent of my knowledge with customizing androids is rooting my old AT&T Fusion 2... So any info is greatly appreciated.
