I don't own the skyrocket but my mom does. She is having some issues with the ROM I flashed long ago so I figure now is a good time to upgrade. What do you suggest for stability and battery life? I don't care which version of android or cutting edge features but I do care about everything working all the time as I live several hours from her and just can't fix things for her at any time.
Let me know what you recommend and why. The more detail the merrier. Thanks!

If you don't care about android version or features, leave it stock..

That is surprising. That's either a compliment to the Samsung devs or an indictment of the ROMs available on xda. Looks like I will try mohan_kr's 4.1.2 UCMC1 AT&T official stock odexed unless someone has a better suggestion.

I believe what he's meaning is since you can't up and drive down the street to fix her device, you should stay as close to bone stock as possible. I keep my mom rooted with custom recovery only so I can back up the device data in case of hardware/software failure. But she is bone stock at&t 4.1.2, which was a huge leap of change from 2.3 for her. She is 16 hr drive from me.
My wife has this phone and I've found the easiest to transition into android has been MIUI ROM for her. Everything is pretty stable and has the general functionality needed.
Not the latest and greatest since it's on 4.1.2, but works well.

It was a question, All Wise One. Questions are usually asked when someone is unaware. I am "unaware" of any perks there may be for going stock, so I asked. See how that works?

I still have an EVO, evo had froyo forever. I guess omega's answer summed it all up. I suppose my preference is in favor of AOSP.
ICS:
1. AOKP
2. CM9
3. Provision (Right now actually)
JB:
1. CMX (so far only because its probably the most stable JB ROM with 99.8% of everything working)
2. Stock (AOSP)
3. Jellyvision (which will probably shoot up to 1 for awesomeness (I'm entitled to my own opinion, I'm sorry if this offends you))
It all depends on what you want, people view perks different ways. Some are featureholics. Some are minimalistic, just your personal preference.

I would like to know what type of battery life people are getting with the stock JB rom. I'm on the unofficial AOKP 4.2 and have had outstanding life @ 1d 20h 4m with a 45min bluetooth call without charging at 7% left! I don't do much in my phone so screen time is usually less than 25%. I can post a screen shot if there are any doubts, but the stock ICS rom gave me just as good performance. Still love my CM 10.1 and AOKP though. The dev's have done some outstanding work!
Just wondering if anyone is working on miui v5 yet? Thinking about starting something but would be better to work on it as a group.
Looked into it. Its not happening until others get it ported right now though its only really being worked on for the mi2 last I heard.

Playingeetar247 has been trying to get it ported to the T989, but is having trouble with the services.jar and framework.jar, so if you can figure that out it would be a great help to him. I have tried porting but just don't seem to have the patience.
Yea guys the ports have been made for the S2 and i9100 and many other. All of them are fairly stable as well.

In case anyone is interested, I found the patchrom for miui v5
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_miui/tree/jellybean/HDPI/
contains patched system files for easier porting i believe.
should have a skyrocket build for miui v5 soon thanks to @evo4gnoob. Thought I'd update in case anyone is still following this thread.

Hey guys this is my first ported ROM that I posted in this forum. A couple days ago this ROM was posted in the sprint forum and now the dev said its open to whoever so we get sense 5 working on the Galaxy S3. All the credit goes to him! I just ported it so us d2vzw guys can have a playground with it. Hopefully we can get data working!
What works?
-It boots (takes a lil bit on the first boot).
-It shuts down and restarts, and also restarts into recovery OK.
-The Interface (browser&keyboard) work too. On the keyboard input make sure you turn off physical keyboard!
- I also think WiFi is working too!
Remember this is NOT my ROM! I just ported it so hopefully some of our great devs can work their magic!
****Also flash this after your done flashing the ROM! This is the boot image that was forgotten to be added in the build so it will boot!

No problem.
But flashing another kernel wouldn't let it boot either way, because I modified the CM boot.img for Sense.
