difference between Stock ROM & Custom ROM??

Hello all,
I want to know if somebody can explain me what the differences are in the following two Android systems...
- stock ROM what you have for example on Xiaomi Mi A1 or the Google Pixel phones. Delivered with only "google applications"
- and custom ROM as LineageOS installed on many devices. what in my opinion only does not have Gapps installed.
People are telling me that the "custom ROMs" are more updated? But Google is delivering in my opinion faster security patches and other patches out. And mutch faster new Android updates than an custom ROM developer?
Since the developer needs to re-build the software again. And need to test if everything works fine.

I don't have this device and I've never personally built a ROM before but, you should be able to obtain some member guidance within most of the Guides regarding the building/developing a Custom/Customized ROM.
Here's just a few of them available...

Best ROM with google pay support for SM-G900V?

I've got my bootloader unlocked and am on a version of Oreo but Google Play Services isn't working....I'd like to get it working or install a ROM with no bloat and gPay working....I'm running the latest TWRP 3.2.1-0
I'd like to hear some good recommendations as this device is so awesome and is still very usable to this day and there are just so many roms and I can't figure out which ones work with my model (16GB) because there are so many threads in this sub forum, post links as they are super appreciated.

This isn't predetermined at all.
There's not even an Official name for the Android P announced yet. Only their in-house Codename is known.

Need help with In Call Vol issue on Oreo.

Hi, Guys.
I am a newbie to ROM development. Been doing it for the past couple of months. I am compiling Oreo-based ROMs for Oxygen (Xiaomi Mi Max 2). The Oreo sources are not out yet for it.
The issue we have been facing is the "in-call" vol. We are not able to increase or decrease the vol during a call be it from the phones hardware keys or from a headphones hardware keys. For the rest of the media, it works quite good.
I have searched google, git and asked a lot of developers to check and help however it turns out either they are too busy to answer or not interested in helping a noob.
I might not understand a lot about how android works, however, it's a not just for me that I request help. It's for each and every Oxygen user out there using custom ROM that I want to be helped.
I am attaching a call log along with links to the trees I am using, hoping someone out on XDA might be able to help us out.
