Root Got a Droid X2 - want to root and rom

[skydmark1]

SO I just picked up a pair of Droid X2's for me and my wife to run on pageplus. I want to root them so I can run droid wall and perhaps flash a ROM. First, they are running android 2.3.5 so can somebody point me to the correct method for rooting?

Next, I may want to flash a ROM to these. I run Cyanogen 7 on my current HTC incredible. I don't necessarily need to run that one, but what are some good clean stable ROMs. My wife likes the basic android gingerbread or ICS but want something stable and customizable if possible.

Suggestions? It's been a while since I last rooted/flashed so looking for some good instructions.

EDIT - just found this, would this be the correct way to root the phone? http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/20/how-to-root-the-droid-x2-on-android-2-3-5/

That method should be fine, as long as it's the magic md5 method
Link to my instructions in my list

Phone will need to be on 2.3.4, to install cm7
Eclipse 2.3 can be installed on 2.3.5
