Does not require a rooted phone
GNURoot is a completely self-contained app that cleanly uninstalls and doesn't need root permissions.

Con
Wakelocks on by default
It drains the battery pretty quickly when running.

Pro
Includes a VNC client for GUI apps
Setting it up takes some effort. And 3rd-party VNC client (or X server) apps might have a better user interface than GNURoot's default. These also work, but also take some effort to set up.

Con
Requires a lot of manual configuration
GNURoot doesn't hold your hand and isn't even documented very well. Getting anything graphical to run takes some doing.
