What the crap is current? Need info on root, bootloader and ROMs for 5.0?

I've been going through posts around here. I'm currently on OF1, but I see a ton of concerns on the OneClick method, reports of success being across the board. I'm confused on how we're not consistent on one method. But! That's my question - Which has most success / is most reliable? Opinions? I'd love direct links to the ones you prefer.

What bootstrap is current? I see TWRP is still on 4.3/4.4, and Safestrap apparently lost development? What are people using? I'm currently on 5.0 OF1 without root or bootstrap.

..And I saw something about unlocking the bootloader? The phone is recognized as a dev version afterword? Does this allow us to freely install whatever bootstrap we desire? I'd prefer to get TWRP if I can. I've got no fear of ODIN'ing the crap out of this thing.

I've seen comments all over the board on what ROMs work. Like, I can't seem to find much commonality from post to post. I'm a go-for-stable type of person. I adore stock, and don't need fluff. But the thing I do need ( If anyone can advise ) is to crack open this N900V to work on Straighttalk. This phone currently isn't active, and I've already got a Straight-talk SIM. Without any of this modding the SIM is "Unrecognized" per the phone, and I'm unable to change APN settings.

So if there are common setups to flash, I'd love a link to a Modem / GApps typically flashed if needed. Another love would be to get a CM13 (Or Any CM really, I saw CM11 for unlocked bootloader?) variant running, but again, opinions seem to be varied.

Any suggestions, opinions, directions, or guides welcome!

Thanks in advance.
