Can't speak for rooting, but the Seidio 3500 mah battery typically leaves me with 55-65% power after 16 hours. Everybody agrees that the stock battery just doesn't cut it.

Rooting helped me. I installed a different kernel along with undervolting the battery. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate and that helps too. I have a Seido1750 battery.

Unless she is away from electricity for 2-3 days on the regular the 3200mah is not necessary. It makes the phone look like a fugly brick.
Root her phone. Put an AOSP ROM on there like CM7 and an undervolted kernal like invisiblek's.
she will get batt life like this w/ stock battery:

I want to root her phone but she thinks it will screw her phone up. But I continue to try to talk her into it.

Merely rooting will not help with battery life. You'll have to do some serious modding to get more efficient power consumption. Flashing a custom ROM and/or kernel can make a big improvement. My setup (see signature below) had doubled my battery life over the stock setup.
Simply getting a higher capacity battery will help, and be a lot less work.
