Hello, I'm looking for a suitable pool for mining during night hours only. (e.g. 10pm - 8am, rest of hours miner will be completely stopped).
I had it running on eligius but I was only getting very few bitcoins each day...

wherever you choose make sure you have backup pools in place just in case a pool drops offline
here is an example of a config file ... in this example it will attempt to hash at nicehash either in eu or us as long as the price is at least .01btc per TH

if that price cant be met (the past 3 weeks I have never seen this price hit) then it will hash at Kano's pool... this is where it should stay unless Kano's pool drops out or whatever...

Then it will drop to Ck's Solo pool.... if this site and Kano's site go down... (probably never gonna happen ) then it will hash at nicehash at whatever the going rate is.

I also use betarigs as my first pool, since it also wont go live until my price is met.. but lately they have been having upgrading issues so I am staying away for a little while till the bugs get worked out.

Your getting Bitcoins each day by mining 10PM to 8AM??  How much hash rate do you have?

Any pool should be fine as you get paid per share submitted.  The different payout systems spread those payments out differently but you still get paid per share.  With the exception of the method Elegius uses.  They cap the maximum payout when luck is good to make up for bad luck and limit the risk to the pool which is inherent in PPS pools.  So that being said I wouldn't recommend a PPS pool of any type.
