glad to hear but its the wrong place to post your thread it should be in Q/A. Any moderator please can you move it to its correct destination?
Anyway, short answer nothing or no one is best. One which is best for me may probably be worst for you. Its subjective. Try roms, kernels one by one and stick to the one which seems "best" for you not me.

pixel experience is very popular but then ofcourse no one can compete with LinageOS
however both have limited customizations
you should try
Crdroid5.6 (9aug19 is the latest (at present) ) , it has full platter to customize your rom according to yourself!
however
I am on HAVOC 2.6 because of better screen resolution and font and havoc has even deeper customizations (or better organized)
Otimus Drunk kernel , is good ( i have used twisted/arter/sphinx/ and franco)
remember, you must flash vendor image before flashing any rom in twrp or you will get bootloops
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/ latest one is 10.3.6 (bottom most)

for me most of the vlogger who makes videos for roms touches basis only, the following things i found in almost ALL the videos
1. pubG running smooth
2. Jeo (4g) working fine
3. benchmarks
4. android version
5. you can make calls with no sound problems
however vloggers are more keen to make another video rather than use the rom on deeper level and find bugs
for examples
1. poco f1 ALL CUSTOM roms on 3g USB THETHERING start giving setting carshing, com.android.phone crashing errors where data used goes 1TB in 10 seconds... and System UI begins restarting itself! , network connections gets hung or delayed and you cannot go back to sim settings since com.android.phone keeps crashing as you click your sim setting icon...
now ? who's responsiblity is to test it? ofcourse as user if you are making video atleast test this problem and try to find solution (if not atleast warn the viewers)
2. also pocof1 cannot be mend for mixer path files for volume boost! but no video mentions about it
3. vendor image is required,,, NO video ever said this , i found it in some xyz forum by some member
4. same goes for redmi note 5 pro issues where screen goes off when listening to voice msg! and comes back on after 3 seconds! i changed 2 rn5p on 5-6 roms , all same! but no vide ever mentioned that!
in short! its always best to get opinion from xda forum members (or equivalent)

You probably need to report it.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do that via the XDA app...

Moved.
