I use two apps.
1: Titanium Backup with purchesed Pro Key.
2: Root Uninstaller.
Just before going to the recovery to wipe and format everything but the SD card I run the two options in the Scheduals tab of Titanium Backup.
Root Uninstaller (I have the Pro version) automatically saves every and all downloaded apk's to the SD card (you have to manually delete an apk from the app, the updated app can't). This I use for several reasons.
1: Titanium Backup sometimes freezes when trying to install a specific app when running the batch restore option. I then reboot and install the app by going to the Root Uninstaller folder on the SD card and copying the apk to the root of the SD card, then select to install. Then I finish the batch restore from TB.
2: Sometimes I don't have a good enough data connection. Can't sign into the market after a new ROM flash, so I install Titanium Backup's apk that's in the Root Uninstaller folder.
3: I update an app from the PlayStore and it's borked.
I go to Root Uninstaller and re-install the old apk that did work.
When in the recovery I make sure I select all these options:
1: wipe data/factory reset.
2: wipe cache partition.
3: I go to the mounts and storage option and select:
A: format boot.
B: format data.
C: format cache.
D: format system.
C: format SD ext(if you don't have a partition on the sd card skip this).
Note: Don't format the SD card. It will wipe all data from it.
I go to the advanced section and wipe the dalvik cache as well. OCD thing.
Edit: Almost forgot.
What you could do is get everything on the ROM set up just how you like it, apps in just the right place as well.
Then make a backup.
Now when trying different kernels, if one doesn't work for you, just restore backup and try another.
