I'd recommend Mikg's 3.11 or CleanROM.

 

As for battery life, that'll depend more on the kernel you're running in conjunction w/ apps such as ROM Toolbox or SetCPU.

 

The Stock ROM is pretty good It has the bloatware but that is fairly easy to take off. Personally I'm liking the Nitrous ROMS They are very smooth, Fast, and Reliable. No Bloatware and has tweaks to help with netspeed and other stuff. The Dev has been doing a good job of releasing updated versions as well. So its not like a ROM comes out and then no support.

 

+1 for MikG. Always a good one to start with

 

My wife and daughter are running MikG and UnderworldSBC. Both of them are in love with that configuration.

Every time one of these threads suggesting a rom comes up consistently MikG is the most suggested because its clean and to the point and just works for 99% of people. My suggestion of Underworld SBC is simply the SBC resulting in a higher battery charge.

 

I agree on MikG with an honorable mention to Tommy's Evo Classic. My phone hates the underworld kernel, so if you get classic kernel v 1.3 (I think that's the most current) then it's pretty much the stock kernel with some other tweaks and SBC.

 

MikG or Swagstr's SOS

 

There is also this Rom that was created for the ladies by Diablo.

It's based off of Sense 2.1. It runs well but doesn't have all of the tweaks as MikG. I'll probably give this to my wife if I give her my phone in the future.
