How are dual booting your MBP, with Bootcamp, or some other way? I've been thinking about doing that too but it's hard to find good info on how feasible it is.
I use rEFIt[0]. It's somewhat customizable/themable (you can change the icons, default partition, etc), but is otherwise nothing special/flashy. I've never used bootcamp, so I can't really do a feature comparison between the two. It gets the job done.
