You're probably going to get a number of mixed opinions and ultimately you have to remember the choice is yours. But I always run a phone stock when I first get it with the intent of making sure there are no major issues with it and to see how it is. That way if there is something wrong or I am not happy with it I don't have to go through the unrooting/relocking process.

Verify everything works good then root and rom it, u can always use Odin to restore it back to 100% stock using the Google provided stock rom.

+1, my exact thoughts. Be aware that when u do unlock you will wipe EVERYTHING (pics and music included), so although it makes perfect sense to do it as soon as u get the phone (before u have any pics or music), I would still agree with the above and wait it out. Hope u luv the new phone, brutha (or sista if applicable)!

oh yea, if u do rom it be sure to try the 240 dpi mod (lcd density changer app on market) and brm launcher, I have it on mine ands its the way the phone should have shipped!

THIS is what I intended to +1.

And as mentioned by droidhayabusa, it will wipe your phone completely so keep that in mind.
