Which root did you go with? I’m still hesitant on rooting. Getting my replacement EVO today though.
All I really want root for is to remove all the bloat ware Sprint includes.

I did a full root (for the latest OTA, and not that 4 click pussy shit either) then flashed a stock rom with root and the engineering SPL. I can has flash of w/e i want. Also did a nandroid backup when done. Fucking thing is tits. Problem is that now I’m out of cool hacks. LOL.

So I’m guessing you can’t update OTA and have to wait for the another ROM with the next OTA still?

Don’t know. Don’t have an EVO at the moment (lost mine at Six Flags NJ on the last roller coaster ride of the day). Should have my replacement today by 3PM according to FedEx.
