None, root stays, you will just have to reinstall Superuser or SuperSU (or one after the other, depending on which one you were using). I had to reset my phone after I got error 67 with a tether app, so I can assure you root stays.

Correct.
It's the custom recoveries that mess up when you factory reset, not root.
Also, if you put Superuser into system/apps even a reset will not remove it. It gets lost now because it is saved in data/apps, which reset wipes out.

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Also I installed busybox, will that stay? Not sure where it installs to.

That will stay, it too ends up in a system folder.
