It all depends, I've not used bitminter, slush is your best option, old and trusted. Sidenote: BTC-GUILD will be closing so..

Remember that you just need to understand what payment method they use and test them out for a period of time each, for example
mine 1 month in bitminter and 1 month in slush

Thank you very much for your reply! 

By the way, why BTC-GUILD is closing? Bankruptcy?

This is no longer the case. Since those news reports, BTC Guild has indicated that they are not closing.

See this post on November 3, 2014 from the news feed on their site (partial quote):

BTC Guild Staying Open, Not Being Sold

After a weekend of discussions with pool users, pool operators, and potential buyers for BTC Guild, I have decided that the pool will remain open and operational for the forseeable future.

BTC-Guild is a nice pool. I've mined with them in the past. Currently I'm on Antpool (mostly).

You might want to consider is the NiceHash/WestHash rental pool. During the recent Paycoin mining craze, NiceHash rental rates for SHA256 were as much as 8 times what you could mine with a standard Bitcoin pool. That's over now so the NiceHash rates are down to normal.

That being said, if there's another SHA256 pump and dump you can capture that by configuring NiceHash (or WestHash for the US) as your primary pool, but specify the minimum profitability that you're willing to accept. If NiceHash rental rates are equal to or above your specified profitability, then your rig will mine on it. If rentals are below your specified profitability, the pool appears dead and fails over to your next pool.

I've got WestHash configured with a profitability slightly higher than the normal bitcoin mining rate. Note that the profitability will change as the difficulty goes up.

Here's a partial copy of the configuration I'm using. Note that the "xnsub" means that extra nonce subscribe is on (which is supported by my miner):

Code:

URL:		stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub
User:		<my BTC receive address>
Password:	p=0.013

URL:		stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub
User:		<my BTC receive address>
Password:	p=0.013

URL:		stratum+tcp://solo.antpool.com:3333
User:		<mining name.worker>
Password:	x

URL:		stratum+tcp://geo.bitcoindigger.com:3333
User:		<mining name.worker>
Password:	x

I've not used AntPool since it came out after i stopped mining but i would try it, its 0% and its from bitmain so.. should be safe to test it

I suggest you use bitcoin.cz pool.
