, all you need you will find there and there is no " best Rom " , you need to read the Rom threads and look for yourself what you want and need.

As everyone else posted read here for rooting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
Use that method instead of chainfire auto root, and any other toolkit that you come across, we had problems with people bricking devices for a while because of these toolkits.

Thanks Super Commando for pointing out the obvious link to me. I am now running IC S 4.04 & NUMA as System3. This is cool. No brick here.

I want to know how to root it.

Hi, I just wanted to ask for help, I want to root my new nexus 5, I'm scared because it's new and I don't want to brick it :S, Is there any reliable way to root it ??? Also, is there a way to put Kitkat's soft keys without leaving lolipop ?? Thanks !
Check out the guide and watch some videos. Whilst relatively safe, there is a small risk, especially if you don't follow steps correctly. There is a Windows tool kit available which helps you do it automatically.
Although I think its good to do it on your own as you lean more about the process etc

And this is how you wind up not knowing basic things like what a custom recovery is. Start at the beginning.

So, thanks for sharing a link to a guide that helped you.

OK, the link is working now, guide is in the title, but where's the guide? Don't title the thread a "guide", when you don't write down a guide. Only posting a link isn't a guide.. in my eyes.
Also the linked site is on host known for malware and the guide doesn't work for me, cause the TWRP is not official and doesn't work properly. There's no chance to install SuperSu or anything other.
So, if I'm wrong, please write down a working guide for us.
Cheers
