Scouting different mining pools. Who has experience…

With different mining pools. Still working on getting my building together and power set up. I’ll post about the progress soon. But I’m looking at mining pools. I see that some have free(if your in their pool) software upgrades to optimize your asic and all have something a little different. Just wondering what exactly to look for and any surprises. I’ll be starting with about 800-1000 th/s. Any I’m am not a computer geek by any means but I understand business and have owned and sold many.
