It depends on what your looking for? If you don't like variance then one of the PPS pools like BAN https://mining.bitcoinaffiliatenetwork.com/index.php , if you dont mind unlucky days with the lucky ones then Kano's pool http://www.kano.is/index.php or if you really want to try your luck and solo mine then CK's solo pool is where you can try to find a 25 BTC block for yourself. http://solo.ckpool.org/

Here is a listing of most of the pools you would want to consider.  There is also an explanation of the different payout methods.

Absolutely do NOT use BAN - the owner & admin are confirmed scammers - avoid them at all costs!!

I have free electricty in my house rent, so that is not a problem. i was thinking about using btcguild. but what is BAN ?

BTC Guild is a good pool but you will have to take the good luck days with the poor ones. BAN is a newer pool https://mining.bitcoinaffiliatenetwork.com/index.php that you can set your payout to as often as 1 hour which is paid out on a PPS bases. It does not matter what luck the pool is having. The pool is being attacked and so far as I can tell with unfounded allegations. But you can also find a PPS payout with F2Pool https://www.f2pool.com/ which I use as one of my backup pools but they only payout once a day.

Edit: The "Free electric" will only last until the landlord see's the electric billing and will either have to raise your rent or make you pay for it. Just be careful you don't overload the electric circuit.

i have already told the landlord about the mining and i calculated the KW for him and he was fine with that
i guess solo mining is out history, if some solo miner will find a block will he be rewarded those 25btc rewards? must hell of a luck to find a block solo mining

There has been two miners on CKsolo pool that have found 25BTC blocks. I have tried the pool a couple times and plan on pointing my miners there once they are no longer profitable and take a chance.

Which miner are you going to be using? I am glad your landlord is ok with it. Depending on where you live the miners will put off heat for the winter but will make a room hot during the summer besides the noise level of most.
