Root What is the best/reliable firmware version?

Upgrading to D caused so many problems that I don't ever care to try E, or even F. C is what will remain on my Motion until the day I throw it in the trash ;)
I am on F, the latest one. F has a lag issue. C was indeed the fastest i think I have had since my motion was smooth at purchase, but i didn't know how to stop it from telling me to update my software, it gets annoying. The later versions also seem to have battery draining issues, or it's just my phone, because I recently bought an extended battery which seems to not even be helping. I haven't charged it 6 times like it said I should, so we'll see. The new battery like goes from 100 to 75% quicker than it should than just drains from their every 30 minutes to an hour, depending on use. The motion I think was by far my worst phone battery life out of all the phones I've owned. Seems to worsen after I factory reset or update software, which I am guessing the software updates/resets take too much power? The extended batteries aren't accurate it seem, but I guess we will see on my 6-8th charge sometime, I lost count LOL

Mine had f out of the box, so I don't have a frame of reference for the previous iterations. But, I don't seem to have any problems so am very happy with f.
 
I think everyone is a little caught up in the "best firmware" , to the point where everyone actually thinks they see differences in all of them. I think all of the changes aren't even noticeable. I just stick with the latest firmware. I use cm10 as well.

I'm just looking for a decent build, regardless of OS. I've been running stock C without root since new. Speed is all I need, doesn't have to be Jellybean ;)

I know right. C is super fast. On my F firmware, it lags and the the touchscreen is less sensitive. Feels a bit stiff.
