After being away from RO for about 9 years or so, I recently returned. I chose TalonRO because it was a low-rate server which is my preferred. In the time that I have been here, I am extremely impressed with the server. I have had no problems with lag or crashes or even bugs of any kind. I've not had a chance to interact with the community or GMs yet, and I haven't really noticed the economy (even if I could remember to compare to 9 years ago). Tons of events and a lot of participation.
