So this is a comparison of the luck of two pools over a few days?
Remember that past luck has no effect on future luck.

I will never understand how people with such a bad understanding of pools and basic math invest so much money into mining.
but worst part is they share their knowledge
I start to come to the same conclusion. Ive mined with Slush. Steady 0.3x daily. Moved to Eligius - wonder if Ill get 0.2 by the end of the day. Everybody around are so happy with Eligius. Not me. Wait till the end of the day and propabbly swith to other pool.
There is something called "pool luck".

I see why people use fee based pools vs non-fee based.
I colleague of mine suggested I switch to a non-fee based pool and give it a try. So I did, I pointed all my miners at this one site, the fee base site before paid out on average 0.4x BTC's to me on average (fees included), sometimes it was little bit more one day and a little bit less the next but it averages out to what 226GH/s would get on the current difficulty.
So far with the non-fee based pool I have lots a lot of bitcoins. I haven't come close to the 0.4x BTC's I am used to getting with the fee based system. Sadly with switching back to the fee based system I have to let things ramp up a bit before I start seeing my normal take.
I am not trying to start a war, but I am sharing my opinion so that if other people who are wondering which pool they should go with can read this and decide for themselves.
Thanks,

Pool operator deserves every satoshi of your coins...
One day isn't long enough. Variance and all that.

You should be getting more Bitcoin on non-fee. Check your stale rate and luck factor.
The non-fee one was using by chance DGM? How long have you mined there?
