[Verizon] Bone stock VZ GNEX

The phone has not even been activated. Should I wait for the OTA or flash Jelly Bean. I've not messed Round with root since my Droid X. Should this be a piece of cake being that I'm not worried about losing anything?

The Jelly Belly ROM is fantastic, very stable. Plus the search function has not been disabled, as it most likely will be on the official JB OTA. This may mean a significant loss in function of perhaps the best part of JB, the updated voice search and Google Now. So if you are willing, I say flash away. Plus since the phone is new, you can unlock the bootloader, and not have to worry about the fact that it wipes the sd card partition.

Not to be a pain in the butt, but could you recommend an instruction list? Also, is this pretty brick proof?

Probably the easiest is Wug's Toolkit, found here:

Thank you!

Is Wuz's tool kit essentially automatic? From what I've read it seems pretty hard to go fubar.
