Question
I am running ApeX 1.4.1 and just ran a nandroid backup from within bootstrap recovery. Am I right to assume I can just reboot into recovery and clear/wipe data and install .zip file from SD card and then it should run. Also if I want to return to my nandroid backup I can just boot strap GB, wipe data/cache and restore my previous nandroid backup?

How did you confirm the DX bootstrap worked after installing rooted GB? Did you attempt a backup or anything? I'd like to confirm before I move over, don't want to purchase the D2 bootstrapper if I don't need to.....
Yes, from what I've read, since you didn't "jump the gun" and install the non-rooted GB, you should be able to flash the rooted GB zip file as you normally would flash to another rom, without having to follow all the steps in the OP. And yes, if you want to return to a previous backup, you'd just need to boot strap GB, wipe data/cache, and restore....though per the OP you need to install the D2 bootstrapper, however, it sounds like the DX bootstrapper works as well....can anyone else confirm this?
search button not working on Leaked GB rom
Ok guys I had the problem where I flashed the leak but forgot to wipe data and cache and so the phone would boot loop. I would then boot into stock recovery and the search button did nothing. and I though I was #(*&%#$ up. well turns out that with gingerbread search button is no longer an option to move past the screen with the white triangele and yellow exlamation point you need to press both the volume up and volume down buttons and that will bring up the recovery menu. now use the volume keys to move up or down and to select use the power button the camera button is no longer an option. select factory wipe and this will solve most bootloop issues. if it does not then you will need to SBF back to .340 and then flash the Leak. just a word of caution GB works great for me now but after installing it i've had issues where RSDlite will not see the phone or does see it but will fail out on flashing the phone. good luck to all
Hope this helps anyone stuck in bootloops.

Yes, so long as your running a rom based off .340, just install the gb preroot leak just like any other rom. However you can't then go back! You have to sbf back to stock ..340. GB installs a new system on the phone 2.3.3, so your old 2.2.1 backups no longer work.

I finally fixed my "m" logo after trip hours of trying to figure out what happened. Turns out that the SBF 2.3.340 file I downloaded was corrupt. Found another one off a coherent forum, flashed it and is running perfectly. Was worried for a minute.
