I used to use openbox but unless you are running on a P3 or some low end 
  PC it really makes little difference in the machines performance IMVHO.

There is no integration with Ubuntu other than selecting openbox when 
you login via GDM or KDM.

It just *works*

Openbox used to annoy me because it used to forget the audio mixer 
settings every login plus I didn't know how to do alt +f3 or whatever to 
launch a shell when in myth to see what is going on without exiting - 
I'm sure it's possible but I never read any docs.

Personally I much prefer KDE because it's easy to sayon boot - login as 
mythtv and launch mythfrontend.  Kinda handy when other people have to 
access mythtv when you aren't there.
