In my limited experience with stealth bombers, a cloak on a stealth bomber is no better than one on any other ship. The biggest advantage a stealth bomber has with a cloak (no retargeting delay) is independent of what cloak you use.
It might be worth shelling out the isk for a t2 cloak so that you still go faster cloaked than uncloaked, so that you can align while cloaked and instawarp. It's still no covops cloak, but eh, whatever.
Also in b4 merin who will tell you not to waste the cpu on a cloak at all.

Because it IS a waste. With 250km range, there is no plausible scenario in which you are using the cloak in combat, so you're much better off using that 30 (or 60) CPU on more BCU IIs or ewar.
In after merin who will tell you not to waste the cpu on a cloak at all. 
nice combo bro o/ \o

Don't forget that stealth bombers move faster cloaked than uncloaked.
Which is faster, a cloaked stealth bomber, or an uncloaked stealth bomber?
The uncloaked one, since it's using its MWD

Can you do that? Use a MWD while cloaked?
No, but I didn't say you could.
A cloaked stealth bomber will go 50% faster than base speed (roughly)
an uncloaked stealth bomber will be able to use the MWD that it fit (you did fit a MWD, didn't you?) and go 500% faster than base speed.

Yes they have their downsides, and a Covert Ops cloak and missile velocity bonus would be nice, but that doesn't take a away that it can be a fun ship to fly. And isn't that what's it all about? What you WANT to fly? Not everything has to be pure efficiency and FOTM.
If I wanted that I'll bring a Scorch Zealot.
I think Scorch Zealots are fun to fly in addition to being wtfgood...
