Can someone help me write it from basically scratch?
I find the instructions but its like everything is completely split up.
It'd be nice to have to gui drop down for load balance but I could also just input a quota or percentage.
But I can't get anything to work because I'm trying to combine 3 guides because no one completely wrote it all out.
I've flashed my S1 at least 10 times today

Well I seem to have gotten 1 method working. Its doing 3 pools all at once.
Now I have to figure out how to get a priority quota working or some division between them

Don't use load balancing. Use Failover only so you mainly mine on ONE pool. The others are strictly backups.

All pools these days use PPLNS or a variant of it and that means it takes time to build up your effective pool hash rate. Having the miner splitting its time between pools means that you never reach full speed (payout rate per-block) because your pool speed is constantly ramping up and down.

More importantly, dont use an S1. Thats just throwing money away even at 1c/kwh

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.
