In all my experiences with installing OS 10 leaks and official OS's in the past two years, and having done it every which way, autoloaders with and without full or partial restores, nondestructive loads, including hybrids, both on the Z10 and now the PP, I can't honestly say that I've noticed any consistent differences in results, only in the increased work time required with autoloaders, especially without restores.
About the only thing I've found to be consistently true is that if I stay long enough with a basically good OS or hybrid (see my config below), the phone seems to stabilize over time and some of the annoyances go away. For example, with the config I have now, I used to get failures of my POP emails to receive messages at times, random wifi dropouts, and frequent flickering of apps and of the camera. None of that seems to happen any longer, and I haven't made any changes in my configuration in over three weeks. I don't know how to explain this apparent maturing or "self-settling-in" of the OS beyond the initial period right after the OS install.
