In the near future, HTC's phones will all be sold with an
unlocked bootloader. It appears that Motorola is going to do
something similar.

So my suggestion is to track CyanogenMod, find a phone that they
support, and go with that. 

You get root, as little or as much bastardization as you want,
and updates from an actual open source community.

I put CM7 on my Droid, and that has made me much happier.
