Galaxy SII i727 and i727-r LTE editions
2.3.x
----------
This is CyanogenMod 7.2.0 modified for us GSII LTE users! Pretty much the exact same thing just with the proper modifications to allow LTE users the ability to use it.
----------
Purpose: Get rid of your bloatware and add a ton of new features for the usability of your phone. Information can be found at www.CyanogenMod.com
Requires: da_g kernel update for fixes of WiFi antennas and some network issues. Kernel link can be found at the XDA forum link above.
Pros and Cons: For a version declared as Alpha, this runs GREAT. No glitches or bugs found thus far as long as you get the da_g kernel running with the ROM.

Android 2.3.3
-----------------
Purpose: Gets rid of bloatware and makes the stock Sense UI run pretty smooth.
Requires: Rooted phone.
Pros and Cons: I have not really found any Cons. One of the best features Flipz added was the ability to update to the newest version of his ROM right though the phone itself.

Android 2.3.7
---------
Purpose: Get rid of bloatware, makes your phone run super, super fast. It is truly like a whole new phone with this ROM.
Requires: Rooted Phone.
Pros and Cons: Only real Con is the fact that you need to get a GPS and Tether fix. I guess with out the GPS Patch it is off by quite a bit. The Tether fix allows you to use the free wireless tether app. I guess any of the AOSP ROM's require the GPS fix though.

The kernel also gives you the ability to use different modes when using your phone like performance mode that will overclock your CPU and other modes that will run lower clock speeds to save you battery.
Requires: an AOSP ROM
Pros and Cons: It can take up to 72 hours before the Kernel fully takes over.
