Why would anyone want to pay a fee to reduce variance when they can just use a no fee PPS pool?
I'd rather have variance than more fees...
This puzzled me when I was asked to offer PPS to miners that wanted PPS but also wanted to mine at Ozcoin, I said yes at a 5% fee, these miners agreed.
I think there must be more to choosing a pool than just the fee

Sure is!
For example, some things I personally look for in a pool:
1. supported on BTCMon (iOS app)
2. decent up-to-date website that lets me track income and progress, there is just something VERY awesome about refreshing after a minute or two and seeing the PPS balance increase ever so slightly.
3. email notification of idle miners.
4. then, after seeing who meets those criteria, I tend to go for the lowest fee.
