is that really a myth? I know I read that on some pools official faq, oh well....

Maybe it was on bitcoinpool. Their operators are an obnoxious bunch spreading FUD to promote themselves.

Can you explain how having a 500 g/hash compared to 200 g/hash will be more profitable to the miners? Because I am considering this and not seeing it.

In the language of this post, a larger pool gives you less variance, but it doesn't affect your expectation.

Score- Not a clue!

slush's pool resists the pool-hopping cheat by using a score-based reward system. Each share submitted increases your score by a certain amount which is based on how old the round is. The displayed stat is the total score obtained by this worker in this round.

This, by the way, is what started the myth that if you disconnect from slush's pool, the magical tooth fairy comes and steals your moneys.
