I have some mining rigs going, but i'm fairly new to this.

I don't understand why https://whattomine.com/ and http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency are giving me different results on their profitability calculators. One says I should be mining ETH and the other says ZEC. I hear murmurings that maybe i should be on XMR.

I've been mining ZEC the last few months. My electricity is free as it's included in rent on my industrial offices.

I have the following cards mining, spread over 5 rigs:

1x RX480
2x R9 290X
2x R9 280X
3x R9 270X

So, what should i actually be mining???

For RX 480/470 - ETH ; For R9 270X/280X/290X - ZEC.
I do not know about mining XMR nothing.

Most likely Monero for all. Also get the CPU working in the 5 rigs

You should run Claymore cryptonote, Zcash, Equihash etc on each computer and make a note of the speed on each card then check www.coinwarz.com using your total speeds and you will know.

Nicehash is most simple. There is automatic switching between different algorithms. The best algorithm is changing every day. Nicehash pay you in BTC, not in altcoins.

Mine a coin that has a bright future - Monero.
RingCT will be added at block 1220516 with a hardfork (approx. 10 hours from now) so the price is expected to increase over the next few weeks.

Mine MONERO (XMR) . Less power consumption. So less heat. So that less stress on GPUs. GPU Life increases. No need of external cooling equipment when mined in hot climatic conditions.

You're recommending mine Monero, but if you look at a Monero calculator you only get 27 Monero for a full year of mining. How is this a good recommendation?

You can go in the settings an uncheck all other algos so it focusses on just one
