I recommend you LitecoinGiver.com... It's startup, but is the best.

I mine on SLUSH. I had been running GUIMiner for a few months with GPU's but when my USB miners showed up, I switched to CGMiner.

slush. It got props for being mad consistent as far as marketshare on a review somewhere recently that I can't seem find for you at the moment. I'm not sure why consistency of marketshare is a good thing, but I'm a n00b, so maybe somebody else knows.

What are you mining? Major question. I assume BTC... I like BTCGuild's PPLNS. I used to be a huge fan of P2Pool, but it just seems to be falling behind on the hashrate..? 

As far as software, I'm a CGMiner guy. I started with other programs, ones I felt were easier at the time, but I have determined that CGMiner is very easy to utilize and effective.

Feel free to ask any questions or PM me. I'm greatly interested in helping new people interested in mining if you need help setting up or configuring.  This is the sort of help I received en mass when I first came here over a year ago. I like to think I can try to pass that on - when I came to this community, it was welcoming, accepting, and a learning center! So any time someone is looking to learn about entry or BTC, I can't help but smile and want to aid.

BitMinter, simply the best rate 1% and you get name coins, along with a PPLS payout. Also have a great java based client which works.

I am just starting to learn about the bitcoin scene. I purchased a couple ASICMiner USB blocks to experience mining. I have been mining at Slush's Pool using CGMiner.

I'm using cgminer with 50btc.com pool. Seems like pool from day to day is bigger. But now its just 2 farms with videocards, i'll try to buy ASICMiner.

I'd agree with many here on using cgminer. So far it's been the best/most consistent option I've seen.
