If BU ever happens, mining it would be much the same as mining BTC.   Plus you'd be able to do both, so as a miner supporting Core you could just continue to mine BTC despite the hashrate of BTU (and BTC would still most likely be valuable enough for mining not to be completely unprofitable).

Pools would be the same as well if you were mining BTU, although the difficulty might be different between the two coins so what the most profitable choice would be will still vary.

Not that I expect BU to actually happen anyway.

mining bitcoin and mining bitcoin unlimited are the exact same thing. It just depends on what pool you connect to and which protocol they are supporting. You get paid the same either way at this time.
