I've used both Touch Whiz version of the KToonsez kernel and the DKP kernel.
I've had the best luck with the KToonsez kernel. I've had trouble with DKP and the settings not wanting to stick.
You may have better luck with DKP on the AOSP based ROMs.
When running Touch Whiz ROMs, I've decided to stay with Ktoonsez. It comes with it's own kernel app too, the KTweaker app.
