[Q] How to update after being on CleanRom Pro 4.3 - HTC Rezound

So I'm currently using "CleanROM Professional Edition 4.3" (march 2012) and want to upgrade to a newer/better ROM, such as Infection 2.6, but afraid it will screw my phone up as I haven't messed around with it in over a year:
My current phone details:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 3.6
Kernel: 3.0.16 , baseband 1.22.10.0310r build 3.11.604.22
PRI Version: 1.16_002, 2.07_002
PRL Version: 15223
ERI Version: 5
Phone is S-ON with recovery RA-VIGOR-v3.13
What ROM do you guys recommend I update to from this, and how should I go about doing it? Do I need to update the firmware first, anything special I need to do from my current set up, etc...?

What's the issue with the current rom you have? Do you want to stick to Sense? I would suggest updating the firmware if you go to a more current rom. Check out the Dev sections for current roms to pick from.

Issue with my current ROM is it's a little unstable, has bad bluetooth and it crashes once every other day at random times. And would like to try a ROM with Jelly Bean OS.
What do I need to do to get my current set up to S-OFF, do I have do a complete factory reset and go back to the everything original (is that even possible after I unlocked the bootloader)? Or can I just flash the stock recovery (is that what stock RUU means?)?
And then will JuopunutBear S-OFF work?

You don't need to be s-off to install roms, there's just some extra steps in flashing the kernel.
Also I see you have duplicate posts with the same question, I'd close one if you can...
