What you mean by small custom rom? Got small and big wan meh?
MIUI can be used without S-off.
After S-off, can use fastboot command to eg. change recovery/splash screen etc etc.
And its safer too.
got 1, usually Sense ROM bigger. ASOP rom smaller after installation. you can check the /syatem size to compare each time you try different rom.

Those are fancy stuff only, any practical features about it?
I don't think I would risk bricking my phone for the candies.
rooting, partition, flash any rom, flash recovery, etc.. anything wrong, no worries. as long you have pc and usb cable
but S-OFF is more advanced thing, is actually modified the HBOOT, something like board bios. if the moment S-OFF, ur pc hang or power off.
possible it gonna brick the phone. but if you follow the steps carefully, with latest version of s-off which are very stable. it's not scary at all.
so, understand first the advantage of s-off, are you really need it and understand? then go ahead. for me, I s-off so we can choose the recommended system partition or custom table we like. I have 303MB internal memory, happy with it.. compare to stock user, only have 147MB internal memory.
