Stop using bloody ROM Manager for a start! Just boot into CWM and flash them there like everybody else

Which gapps work the best?

While I understand that most (if not all) ROM devs are not going to provide support if using any gapps package besides what they post in their OP, I am curious, which gapps people have had the most success with?
I have come up with a list of main ROM gapps packages, not including inverts:
1. task650's gapps - newest build 6/12/13
2. PA gapps - newest build 6/15/13
3. SlimROM gapps - newest build 6/22/13
4. Official gapps - newest build 3/1/13
5. MIUI gapps - newest build 6/23 (not sure if these are the right ones, just the first ones I found)
The two main gapps packages I tend to lean towards are task650's and the PA gapps, and I haven't flashed the official gapps package since the first time I flashed a custom ROM
My main curiosity is this: which gapps take the fullest advantage of the features of the widest variety of ROMs? Is it best to flash task650's if you're using an AOKP-based ROM, since his ROM is AOKP, and PA gapps on a PA-based ROM? When is the best time to use official gapps? Does the individual gapps package affect things like AOKP's Dark UI, PAC-Man's "PAC in Black", and SlimROM's TRDS?
Bear in mind, I am talking mainly about either AOKP-, CM-, or PA-based ROMs, as I don't use MIUI, even though I did include a link.

The Gapps are nothing more than apps google won't let you package with AOSP ROMs. There isn't a ''better'' package per say, just look under system/app and check which one are included in there. Also, most of the time, the date is the latest app update so the difference you'll see is when you flash it, you might have to update your app through the store (often the case with Google Search in the past).

I know what gapps are, and what the dates mean. There are definitely packages that are different or include different apps. My question wasn't "what are gapps", but "which gapps go better with which ROMs?"

Slim gapps, for example, are multi DPI because their ROM has a different DPI. Same goes for paranoid. If you're not using either ROM, then I personally use tasks gapps on my other Roms.

I would say to use the gapps that is in the OP of the ROM thread. I think some of them are tweaked for the ROM. I'm guessing that if you don't use the gapps in the OP and ask the dev/devs for help you will hurt their feelings. *cough* *cough* task *cough* *cough*
i currently have gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip flashed, which is the official package i assume.
do the more recent (date-wise) packages have any advantage?

The 03/01 gapps are the "official" ones, in that they come from the CM team. The newer dated packages usually have more up-to-date apps in them, and depending on the source, can have different apps entirely.

Unless the ROM dev says different, use this chart:

I usually use tasks gapps. It includes calendar, which I use. Currently running Novagen rom, which is Rootbox based.

I use the PA Gapps and don't seem to have an issue, but since they don't specify i don't think it really matters which Gapps you use. I think the 20130813 is probably the intended default Gapps to go to.

What is ROM you are using now? No, gapps is the project of CyanogenMod team, they (apps) are not uploaded to Google Play. Instead they (CyanogenMod team) have a repository to upload an updated gapps.
i have CM10 final version installed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795
and the gapps version there is gapps-jb-20121011-signed
in the cm10.2 thread there is gapps-jb-4.3-20131116-signed
probably they sotpped updating the CM10 thread so no newer gapps will be posted there.
is it ok to use the newer file on CM10?
Gapps should be flashed together or after a new ROM is installed in pristined way, atleast according to arsradu.
Edit: And gapps in 4.3 are somewhat different from 4.2/4.1.

[Q] How to Flash Paranoid Android 5.1 on HTC One (M8) and Review on latest Build?

Hey Guys,
I'm currently on the latest CM 12 Snapshot ( cm-12-20150625-SNAPSHOT-YNG4NAO09N-m8) and I'm thinking about giving Paranoid Android a try. I already downloaded the latest stable version of the ROM (Build Date: 2015-07-04). But i couldn't find any instructions on how to flash it.
So does anyone know how to do it? Since I'm pretty sure I have to flash GApps separately I would also like to know which version I should flash.
Besides that, has anyone already used this version of PA and has experienced any issues with this release?
I'm not an AOSP user on this device. But PA has their own gapps packages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879
In general, to flash any AOSP ROM:
1) Backup as you see fit
2) Wipe using the default wipe option in TWRP
3) Flash PA
4) Flash gapps
5) Reboot and setup
6) Beer
