Just got my Pixel last week, and I've really enjoyed it. Considering rooting and ROMing, and I have some questions.

I really miss TiBU, AdAway, Recently, and Substratum. I was on Lineage before, and I appreciated the extra customisation and control that I had.

I'm thinking I'll root and install TWRP, then flash a ROM. Which ROMs do you recommend? Maybe I should try rooted Stock for a bit? Also, what should I use to root? I don't care about Android Pay, but it might be nice to lass SafetyNet just in case I need it in the future.

If I decide to revert to Stock, how complicated is it? Would I just Factory Reset from a ROM and then have full Stock back, or would it be more involved?

Dany of the recommended ROMs have seamless updates like Lineage? I don't really mind manually flashing updates, but Lineage's updater was super convenient.

Also, if I root and/or ROM my Pixel, will I lose the unlimited full-quality Google Photos storage?
