Which phone to root/rom

After reading (but not always understanding) about root and flashing roms, I have decided to use one of my inactive phones to give it a try. My inactive phones are LG Optimus V and Kyocera Rise. I would like to find a rom at least comparable to 4.1.2, if not more current.

Which phone would be the best for this experiment? Advice on roms and a location for instructions would also be appreciated. After I narrow this endeavor down to which phone, I am sure I will have more questions for it's root forum.

Thank you for your help.
 
If you want roms, the optimus has plenty. You can look in the optimus v forum here and on Android Central. I used this phone before a couple years ago. Think the forums are still pretty active.

If you decide to flash anything on the v make sure you check your screen version is correct for the rom. The optimus v has a couple different versions.
 
Since I really want to flash a rom, it appears the OV might be the best choice. My work is cut out for me. Thank you.
