Viper Rom and MeanRom are the 2 go to super stable Roms for most people here. If those two I prefer Mean. It gets updated constantly and I like that much support and improvement. I'm personally a giant fan of CM10. It's very stable, I've been using it as my daily driver for about two weeks now with no issues at all. I hear there are bugs, but I haven't seen any

Good job on that S off, it is the way to go, no doubt! 
Mik has a rom out, based upon the previous ota. It is advertised as just a 'base' but it has all the common tweaks that improve the phone's usability, as far as i am concerned.
Gets rid of the 3 dots, replaces right button with menu, fixes that linkify thing and some other tweaks under the hood that I can't remember.
Point is, it is highly under rated but very stable.
I read where he is out of the country for a while and won't have time to mess with the latest ota till he returns.
I also like the Fresh rom, it was my daily driver when I first rooted. His first was a good rom to be on when trying to get S off with too, apparently, because I used windows and it breezed right through on it. He also has a version based on the first ota out, as well.
Another rom I like is the Tranquil one or Tranquility, not sure of the name, it has the bases above covered, as well, pre ota I believe, but works fine and is lightly themed really nicely.
I ran the Mean roms a lot till the Mik rom came out. I still flash the various Mean updates and try them out but I really don't care to over clock and there have started to be little complications I don't feel like trying to keep up with, so I'll stick with Mik.
I am looking forward to seeing what he will do with the latest ota before I flash the firmware. I had read somewhere that there would be difficulty with running the older roms that were not based upon it, so given my preferences of roms, that held me back. I almost flashed the new firmware, thinking I could just reflash the older to be able to use the roms I like but we see here that folk have bricked their phones going back to the older firmware, so thankfully, I avoided that. Put it out here so maybe others will avoid it too.
happy flashing!

Thanks guys I decided to go with CM10 after what you said. Couldn't be happier. Increased WiFi range and speed, boot time rocks, lte is actually there and most of all I have all my rooting fun. Only complaint I have is the keypress vibration, haptic feedback I think. Can't find the setting for it to shut it off.
