In preparation for 6.1.3 I am getting my definitive list of tweaks that I want and only those that I want and then plan on doing a final restore and jb then put my stuff on and leave it alone...this got me wondering...does it slow down the phone or hurt it in any way to install a bunch of tweaks then uninstall them and try new stuff out etc...ive had a ton of stuff on my phone and have wasted a bunch of cash to try this stuff out...i own virtually all of the paid apps...but i always come back to my favorite 5 or 6....
Got a tip for us?

iPhone installing and removing tweaks

Yesterday, I did exactly what it is you are doing. Fresh restore/jailbreak and now leave it alone.
In times past, sure enough I'd add some (lame) tweak that buggered up my iPhone to a point of needing a restore, thus my jailbreak was gone.
Not this time!
May I also inquire as to your go-to five or six Cydia tweaks/app are?

I kind of did that, i installed a tweak that messed up my LTE, i ended up restoring and re JB.

I have,
1- Tetherme
Have paid for MyWi in the past, but really prefer tetherme as it is the closest in stock appeal.
2- ResetAllKiller
Just to prevent mistakes from happening!
3- SoftwareUpdateKiller
Same thing.
4- 2X2 Folder Icons
Sure makes folders more attractive.
5- %Hook's Law
Just for fun, but really miss it when I forget to add it back after a restore!
6- No Lockscreen Camera and, NoNewsIsGoodNews along with, bolt
Dresses up the homescreen a bit without the need for Springtomize or Winterboard.
7- CameraTweak
Able to dump a few camera apps as this one does nearly it all. (Couple this with Pro HDR found in the iTunes app store and my camera needs are totally set.)
8- BiteSMS
9- AskToCall
No more accidents in calling when I didn't mean to.
That's really it.
Nothing, fingers-crossed to upset my iPhone5 into needing a restore in the future.

some of those are very low overhead tweaks that keep things in order...With this current combo I have everything I wish were in stock iOS and everything is running smooth....I "plan" on leaving it alone now!
