I think GUIminer as it is at present uses poclbm by default.
I didn't know that, sorry..

I found the GUIminer to be pretty straightforward, and if it's based on poclbm and works now at that mhash-rate, I think I will stick to that for a while and play around with it.
At the moment I'm trying to figure out what settings I could use to have the mining running in background at lets say 50% of what the gfx card could run at, so I can let it run with low fan speed and low temperature during the night (I sleep in the same room, so a loud fan would be a major downside, lol).

poclbm is console tool, so you should have some experience but for servers it is good 
I've tried cgminer but honestly lost patience after 1 hour not being able to get it to run, so I switched to GUIminer and it works now @~370 mhash/s. Quite okay I think. Next thing I need to investigate is the power consumption thing. Don't want to spend a fortune on power bills if there is no chance in mining enough coins in time to compensate that and still have something left.

You might like to try poclbm too.

I've always used cgminer and haven't been disappointed. I tried the GUIminers, but for some reason my hashrates (and connection reliability) were worse than when using cgminer.
Hello all,
since I'm pretty new to all of this I'd like to ask for your opinion on what software I should use to efficiently mine ppcoins.
My setup: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE, XFX ATI Radeon HD5870. For now I consider using cgminer, if there's no better/faster/more efficient miner around. What do you think?
Thanks for your help!
