Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend?
the EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old chameleon is fine yet too, but we'll see some cool features being put into the newer bootloaders soon.

I also tried to select as little as I could on the customize screen during install. I think the last attempt I simply selected the Voodoo kernel 9.5.0 since I have an AMD cpu.

Other than that there isn't much more I can add.

I did patch the 10.5.6 ISO with ppf1 and ppf2.

Any help is appreciated.
ppf2 isn't really needed by your system. have you checked the md5 to verify everything patched ok?
