Any suggestions?
I know I've read that there are apps which are better than the stock option.

Nova

What are the drawbacks? Does it run faster? Will it cause freezing?

Another vote for Nova (prime).

Nova Launcher Prime + TeslaUnread.

Has anyone had battery problems using nova ie greatly increased drain? I BELIEVE it was caused by HD widgets, but havent tried running nova again without the widgets app. Just curious if im wasting my time trying it again...(Note3)

No.

Another upvote for Nova. I've never noticed any problems whatsoever with it. I'm about to get a Note and I plan on immediately installing Nova. If you are having battery issues, consider installing CM11 (if your phone is supported) and run Nova on top of that. Your phone will have a new lease on life.

i would try Google Now Launcher first just to see if you like the launcher that Google built. You could literally run any launcher other than TouchWiz, and it would be better than TouchWiz.

Nova and tesla unread. It's what I run. Oh, and textra if you are still using stock SMS app.

I prefer Google Now above touchwiz and Nova

Nova. I've been happy with it.
You can and maybe should try the free version first for a week or so. If you like it, get the paid/prime version.
Apex used to be considered a strong competitor to Nova. Seems like it's lost a little bit of steam, but if you don't like Nova or TouchWiz, might be worth a try.
If you like to constantly fiddle with your layout and similar details, a lot of people like Buzz Launcher. It's not my bag.
I have considered Everything Me launcher: it supposedly learns how you use your phone throughout the day (maybe in the morning you read news sites, after lunch you play games, evening you do other things with your phone, etc.) and rearranges your phone throughout the day based on how you're most likely to use it. It seems like a good idea. I just expect that my own usage is a bit erratic and I have so many apps on my phone that I think it might annoy me if it guesses wrong and I can't find something easily. But if your use is simple, I can see it being helpful.

I've ran Greenify for years, but it's not part of the launcher so I'm not sure why you're posting it here.
And I will never have an unrooted Android, that's just wrong.
