Hey guys dont rip me here because I think I am being too cautious... I had a tmobile note 2 since it was released then I recently switched to verizon. I am wanting to know what I should do when rooting I see the thread on it but am confused about a few things.
1. If I unlock can I use both tw and aosp roms? Because from directions it seems unlock is only needed for aosp
2. Do I have to swich between cwm and twrp in between flashing the tw or aosp.
3. Thanks for any of your help it is greatly appreciated

You need to unlock for any ROM, and you can use either recovery for any ROM.

In the future please search for an answer before asking. This gets asked all the time.
Now to answer you question rooting and unlocking to flush a custom ROM is the easiest way. You can do it without, but you have to mod every app that you want yourself

Yes also it's important to tell us the build number (or at least last digits) because we have two official builds and both are 4.1.1

its ll4
it says ll4
its super simple to root it and flash and I think thats your best bet for having all your apps multiwindow'ed. I had my doubts (only rooted once before and had a tricky process) but its really simple this time around. Just DL some files click a few buttons and your done in under 5 mins. I'm too lazy to find links and whatnot but if you are genuinely interested I can at least send you some stuff on how to root your phone.
Just follow this guide to root unlock and flash a ROM. It's the best walk through around

I'm happy not running a custom rom right now and just using faux kernel. When the 4.3 update becomes official will I be able to just flash an image and run like I am currently?

You could, but I don't recommend it. For one, we don't know when or even if the Odin image for the update will even be released. But if it does, it's gonna re-lock your bootloader (since you're running a custom kernel, I am assuming it is unlocked), and your phone may not be able to be re-unlocked again.
Once the update is out I'd wait until the devs get a hold of it and update the custom roms. With the new Samsung KNOX included in the update I'd say it might be a little bit of time before the roms are updated, but they will be.

Sounds good... Must not relock lol.

Just wait until someone releases a flashable version of the ROM

Since this Rom will be dual booted (my main touchwiz primary Rom and this secondary AOSP rom), I want to find a fun AOSP Rom to mess around with. Can anyone suggest a 4.4. (Kitkat) rom that is packed with features in it. I remember hearing some rooms have multi window support? Anything like that would be awesome.

Best rom threads will be locked, try them all and see which ones you like.

Because of what the guy above stated, you need to try out ROMs for yourself to figure out what is best for YOU, also there have been many many threads asking this exact thing and they always get locked. I'll give you one option for aosp.......Vanir ROM.

Why do AOSP ROMs not work with Safestrap?

Because the bootloadet is looking for the stock legit firmware signature., without unlock we can't change the stock I'd OR tell it don't look for stock Id anymore. This is simpliest explanation.

Well, until kexec gets figured out, safestrap only allows us to use the stock kernel... which only lets us run touchwiz. If we could run other kernels, AOSP wouldn't be out of reach.
