I have a shortlist of around 10 pools to mine from depending on when blocks are discovered, but I'm not sure how to decide which one to join. Is it better to join a pool:
that has more miners connected
that has higher total hashrate
To me it makes sense to join a pool that has the lowest total hashrate, because then my hash rate would make up more of the total and so I'd solve more blocks... but is this the best way to decide, and if not, how to make the decision?

Depends on the coins you want to mine every pool has to offer, there is a thing that called 'luck' and pool fees that you should be aware of, find a decent and respectable pools and test them by yourself.
Basically if there are a lot of miners connected means they enjoy the pool
