Similar to CM7 - Gingervillain, Redux, Oxygen. I like these ASOP lightweight ROMs.
Sense ROMs - RCMix, InsertCoin, LeeDroid, etc. I hear good things about these ROMs, but Sense ROMs are too large/heavy for my taste.
MIUI ROMs - MIUI-Au, MIUI-XJ. I've tried MIUI-AU and it was good. The XJ seems similarly popular.

I'm finding that CM7 isn't so good on battery life as CM6 was, it also have a screen brightness issue, or at least I do. Time for change me thinks.
I have CM7 for a few days, and so far the battery is not really worse than with the GV ROM. What is the problem with the screen brightness? I have it auto and it works well.
What I think is happening is that the light sensor isn't activated until after the lock screen has been swiped to open the phone. So if I just press the track ball to get the time for instance I get a very dim screen which is unreadable in direct sunlight, and if I don't need the phone for anything else its just a bit of a pain. I just ran Redux for a few hours. Very skinny.
I see. Funny, for me this is happening random. It's like every odd switch on shows a dim screen, and every even switch on shows a bright screen.
Ah well, I can leave with this.
this happens to me too. i'm sure they'll fix it eventually... lol. in the mean time i just hit the lock button twice and the brightness seems to adjust properly. i didn't use CM6 much so i don't recall whether or not this was an issue.
one of my other fav AOSP roms is ultimate droid
I guess personal preference, plus ive experienced a few bugs on GV and i never get any issues with ReDux or Oxygen... Well i used to with older versions of oxygen but the new one is very nice, running really smoothly.
Out of the 2 i mentioned i would say ReDux... 1] Faster 2] More stable 3] Really good battery life... And i have tested the hell out of all 3 lol.
But at the end of the day i think it comes to whatever you like... all three are good ROM's. I just dont get on well with GV
I reckon the CM7 settings are over rated hehehe. The extras in redux are sufficient enough for me. But i think more so than anything it comes to personal taste.
I would like the GV phone.apk to work in redux as it has better settings. Can't think of anything else I miss really.
Its got that.
Actually being able to turn on / off surface dithering would be good.
Theres no VM heap setting either but VMheap tool from teh market satisfies that need.
