Which mining pool you suggest?

It's by far the simplest pool : no registration (and thus, no security issues, hello Deepbit !)

There were no security issues with Deepbit pool.
And also you can just lock your bitcoin address in settings, so there will be no way to steal your BTCs.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Eligius.

It's by far the simplest pool : no registration (and thus, no security issues, hello Deepbit !), you directly get the generated coins (no intermediate transaction). And, as an added bonus, no fee !

It also has nice individual statistics, and a very active IRC channel (#eligius on Freenode) for discussion and support.

I use btcguild via PNLNS.  It runs about 103% luck over past 6 weeks, so the 3% fee is null if you mine that long.  Nice UI.  Merged mining with NMC.  So does Eligius.  Eligius is my backup.  I like how the new coins are original.  Very cool to see them coming in on blockchain.info.  It's like boinking a virgin when you spend them, haha!

I'm surprised and a little bit scared that nobody mentioned P2Pool. In this case is so bad or what?

http://p2pool.org sucks.

http://p2pool.info is okay.

I like https://mining.bitcoin.cz (slush's pool) i have never had any problems with them at all

I've tried Slush's ppol and bitminter and both were good.  I feel like bitminter was more helpful to a newbie and lush was more barebones.  They have different payout structures as well so you can see what you like.  But both are easy.  For multicoin I use multipool and although it's down sometimes it's good and admin is responsive.

Have you considered mining Litecoins and then converting them into bitcoins via trade or on a marketplace? Thats the method that I chose once I got back into mining and saw how competitive Bitcoin mining was. If you choose that path, I would suggest www.wemineltc.com. It has been working great for me. Just make sure to change it to 0% donating so you end up not paying any fee for mining there.
