For those using the Profit Switching feature in Awesome Miner, correct me if I'm wrong, but should we only use pools that payout via PPS (versus PPLNS) when doing profit-switching?

From what I gather, PPLNS rewards you in the longer-term (how long I don't know.. is it days, weeks?),  and that if you are mining on a PPLNS pool and you stop mining before a block is found you will gain much less payout. It seems for shorter bursts of mining on a pool PPS is better.


Can anyone provide some guidance on this please? It seems most pools gave a PPLNS system only.  Dwarfpool has a PPS payout .  For those of your using profit switching what you are using and how often do you have it configured to switch (I think we can adjust that time period so then it might make sense to increase the time it checks for more profitable coins.. but what is an appropriate time in the case of PPLNS?)


Thanks!
