I have 5 dual xeon E5-2690 (2x 20MB so 40MB cache total) running Ubuntu and wanted to give mining a shot. (have free electricity)
I tried monero and get close to 1,000h/s from each server running 20 threads each for a total of 5,000h/s from all servers. Is that good?
Tried xmrig and stak-cpu with same results (large pages enabled)
Am i better off mining a different coin like zcash or Aeon?

Thank you for any suggestions

I think your best option would be to continue in XMR after all you got a very good mining power considering that CPU's are a little old

I tried mining XMR with an i7 3630QM and reached close to 80h / s with the 8 nucles
