it depends ,varies greatly,pools have different hashrate and different luck
on average, a block is found every ten minutes,so a pool with 25% hashpower would be finding blocks (in theory,of course)
every 40 minutes,roughly ,once again:you can be finding them more often or don't find at all,if you are a tiny pool
pool hashrate and percentage distribution you can find,for example,here:

https://blockchain.info/pools



So according to the link/picture, the pool with the highest % is the smartest pool to choose?

Btw is there a save way to buy multiple Antminer s9's (used) ? Got some tips?

no,you should choose the pool with LESS hashing power
due to the decentralised nature of bitcoin hashpower should not be concentrated in one hands
as soon as one pool gains too many percentage share,it would be wise to leave that pool and join another with less hashpower
