btcguild + pplns
+1 btcguild - PPLNS is the way to go...
Can someone point me to a low (or no) fee pool that is highly regarded? (or a discussion of same)?

I'm not paying those ridiculously high fees unless there's some other benefit besides lowering variance. As far as I can tell there really isn't any.
I would think all of us here should have a pretty high tolerance for variance (just another word for luck in this case), we're all basically doing one big crapshoot buying these miners in the first place.
I'm not sure I could deal with solo mining though, an average Jupiter will probably only solve maybe 2-3 blocks solo, so the odds of ending up with nothing are just a bit too high for me to go solo. But a smaller pool is fine.
