The Dolphin Browser Mini is fantastic as well. While it doesn't have the HD's plugin system, it includes several of the popular ones in the quickly-accessed Toolbox.
Personally I find the HD version a bit gaudy and slow... which is why I prefer the Mini on my memory starved, dated but trusty Droid.
What kind of problems have you had with Dolphin HD on the Droid? I've been using it with the Ultimate Droid roms without any problems. If you're not using a custom rom, I'd highly recommend it. Both UD & Cyanogen Mod are good choices (I went with UD because the IRC community is much more helpful).
I'm running CM7. I mostly don't like the HD chrome, I feel tacky when I use it. Also, the Mini is really just a bit faster, even with CM7 and overclocking, it's just that tiny bit more responsive. It's the difference between me clicking on two links from TweetDeck, or all of the interesting ones.
I liked Mini, but switched to Miren. Something about using a random Chinese browser on my handheld computer makes me feel like I'm in a William Gibson novel. Though it's less exciting now the name and description in the market are English. Also it's pretty fast and featureful too.
I've used Dolphin on my Android G1 running version 1.6 since they announced the flaw in the standard browser that allows websites to read your SD card. I'm assuming the default browser on my phone is still vulnerable to that and will be for some time to come.

One caveat is it's developed in China, so my latent racism is telling me it's also doing a phenomenal job of phoning home my private data.
