I've been using an ErgoDox for 4 or 5 years & absolutely love it.
I went with a mix of switchs (the keys my pinky hit take less force than the other keys) and it's really nice.
It took me a day or 2 to get to typing most things without errors, took a couple weeks to get back up to speed (I type much faster now, though I imaging switching to any unlabeled keyboard would have done that).
It does take patience to build, or you can get pre-made ones like the ergodox-ez or from falbatech. I went from almost 0 experience soldering to making the ergodox, the guide on massdrop was very thorough, also watched a few youtube examples.
