In terms of battery life, does lean kernel have better battery? Please don't delete this mods, I know you discourage comparing developer projects but I am just wondering about battery not which one is better. Thanks.

A kernel is only one of the factors that decide how much juice you get from your battery. Only by coupling it with a tweaked ROM and some common sense, one can get more battery life. Moreover, a kernel can be tweaked in many ways too. So, comparing kernels isn't a good idea to compare battery life! Try different kernels and ROMs and see which suits you best mate.

Are there any custom roms that are made for battery life? Like for the best battery life.

Most SR ROMs were designed for good battery life. There is no answer to your question because everyone's usage is different, and "best" threads are frowned upon here anyway.
Download and try a few ROMs for yourself. Only way you'll get your answer.

Thank you for you honesty. I just thought maybe one was built just to get better battery life.
I've been using the nexus for a while, and although I like the stock rom, is CM11 better? Or any other rom in fact? And I guess when I say better I generally mean performance and possibly battery life? Would a kernal also affect this?
Sorry if I seem naive or anything. Recently switched from an ATT S4 with all its bootloaders and such..
"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.

"Best" Kernel
Also, please note that as above, "best" is still subjective. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
Hope this helps
The biggest thing is some of the customizations you can get with something like Xposed. A kernel might change things. You can always make a backup.

You should add the following to the end:
[THREAD CLOSED]
CM and other ROMs that have SuperSU baked into the system (as opposed to have it installed as an app that shows up in the app drawer) can have difficulties with apps that won't work due to being rooted, and often times the apps you can use to temporarily block/hide root access won't work properly with SuperSU baked in. That's the big reason why I stopped using them. It's simpler to just root stock Android and use xposed modules that can replicate 95% of what CM brings to the table.

Title says it all, I'm currently using PA and I'm not satisfied with performance.

try a different kernel. performance and battery doesn't come from Roms. performance from kernels, battery from your use. battery life all depends on your personal use, your personal setup, your apps installed, and the quality of your phone/data signal. everything else is minor battery-wise.

Also, there is no such "ROM and kernel combination", a ROM is a ROM and a kernel is a kernel. They're completely separate.
