Miui-based Roms vs AOSP-based

I am new to moding on mi max 2.
My question is :
What are the advantages of flashing an AOSP-based rom like the unofficial lineageos versions posted here which are in beta in contrast with something like epicrom which is miui global-dev based with added features and customizations on top (and arguably more stable) ?
(also I have to install gapps, root and pretty much everything manually. And I also won't have over the air updates like some miui based Roms offer, so I have to come here and wipe everything to flash a newer version)
Please enlighten me if you have made comparisons yourself and know the differences.

First and the very important, battery life. Lineage OS wipes out Miui when it comes to battery life.

Personal Opinion
In my experience people flash custom roms like lineage os because they either want to give a new look to there phone experience or for the latest security patches or the stock firmware for there phone doesnt include the features they want

yep, nicely summed up
looks / UI, security patches, newer android version (miui is still on 7.1.1), features, battery life, having something "custom" on your phone

Best custom rom for Mi max 2 right now?

Should I install pixel experience oreo or resurrection remix oreo?
I see pixel experience seems to be updated more often, and both offer over the air updates.
I want to use magisk which resurrection remix has builtin but I can simply flash from twrp in pixel, exposed framework and substratum maybe, or viper4android.
What would you recommend?

Definitely will install RR next 29 days, 30 days waiting to unlock bootloader is painful...

Te recomiendo RR por mi experiencia...

Double tap 2 wake on Mi A2

Is there any ways to copy Mi 6x Kernel to Mi A2 to enable double tap to wake or something else?

Even if you flash 6X kernel, you wont have option in settings to enable it.
If you want double tap to wake, flash miui 10 or AOSP extended ROM. Both works flawless.

I tried AOSP rom but fp is not available, face unlock is not available even reinstalling Gapps micro, and using Gcam is not working
I guess I have to wait for the update or other roms to come
I was thinking using kernel adiutor but I guess its not possible too on stock rom

Use custom rom for 6x not a2. You need to convert to 6x first. Flash AOSP extended, not aosp gsi rom. AOSP extended is oreo based and do not have any bugs, but you have all tweaks you want.
Use open gapps nano 8.1. face unlock works and everything else.

MI A2 pie downgrade or switch to 6X?

So after a few days scrolling through the forums, i realised that TWRP is not working on Pie update and it only works properly on Oreo Mi A2. I also realised that you can switch A2 to 6X and mod it using 6X TWRP etc2
Now I want to ask if you would recommend me to =
- Downgrade to Oreo
or
- Switch to 6X?
If i can, i would like to revert to stock so that i can still have my device under warranty (5 week old btw)

Not, Pie better, Miui 10 bagss

On my opinion, don't attempt to downgrade your OS because it may hard brick your phone. If you succeed downgrading, you may experiencing some hardware problems, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and etc. Google intent to disabling OS downgrade since Oreo (Anti Rollback Protection). About 6X MIUI ROM version, this considering as rooting your phone and Xiaomi are not recommending side loading the ROM. If you really don't want Android One Program (hating and can't wait to fix bug's like me), Custom ROM's maybe recommended for you which is offer on some forum threads. But I rather wait for the next future update from Xiaomi and I know they'll fix the flaws of this phone. And of course I don't waste my opportunity to experience free update on upcoming Android Q!

Oreo is ok the best, if you have unlocked bootloader and critical you can downgrade with no problem at all. I have done it after buged pie and other times after custom roms.

I have switched my A2 to 6X for so long now that I can't even remember. I see no point in going back to A2. All custom roms for 6X are much simpler to flash and handle. No dual partition bull****. Plus I can flash miui anytime I want either. I personally see no advantage of A2.
Come to the dark side. Convert to a 6X.

The last line is really tempting. I've been considering converting my Mi A2. Have you experienced any bugs after converting, in MIUI or in custom roms? Perhaps the camera bug?
Also, which rom are you currently on? Any bugs?

Essentially both phones are the same so bugs are almost non-existent. You know I've noticed some people complain about the camera bug but I am yet to encounter it, and its been months. But I always depend on gcam so maybe this is only on if we try to use the stock cam. Even if the issue arises, there's a definitive fix by changing the build.prop to whyred (I think).
I'm currently on Havoc 2.2. I think its the most flexible and customisable rom for our device. Of course you can try miui first and then come to AOSP based roms. One persistent bug in AOSP based roms is that notification light doesn't work (for me at least) and I've come to live without it. Auto brightness may glitch but fixes are pumped out fast enough. So far I have no reason to go back to A2 stock.

Best rom for Mi A2( Android 10)

Hello friends I've used many roms but I'm not sure which is the most stable and bugfree rom for the A2.
Could anyone suggest me a good rom?

I think MIUI is a good rom but if you don't like it, DerpFest is very good for me I use it.

I like Pixel Experience-Fan Edition

Floko and CrDroid are very smooth.

Wifi is good with this rom?

I went to stock rom and root. I simply put on security updates switching to a backup of the boot partition and then back to magisk patch. I didn't find a significant difference on other custom roms, just cosmetic. The only only alternative is the miui rom (6x), but I prefer a flawless system. the only problem with the phone is the battery, too weak. I tried anu sort of firmware and kernel combinations but there is not a significant difference. So I went straight on stock.

derpfest

evolution x is the best

None unfortunately, the mi a2 has bad WiFi.

I think crdroid is very good。

Evolution x or pixel experience
I would recommend the pixel experience rom , its stable and has a clean U but has little to no customizationI. I recently switched to evolution X and im getting the cleanliness of pixel experience, stability and customization so yeah.
