First of all, thank you Charles999 for your effort in making the miner work as quick as possible. Every hour of machine operating now will worth days in the future as competition will skyrocket.

As I suggested you, and I would like the other members to comment on this, we have to choose the best pool.
I suggest bitparking because it is merged with namecoin, ixcoin, i0coin, groupcoin and devcoin. That mean that we mine and get bitcoin as normal plus others SHA256 coins at the same time. Theses coins are very cheap (some not even yet listed on exchange) but if you add them all and price them well it can add between 3% to 6% (maybe more) to our revenues which cannot be neglected.
We should let the most skilled trader of the group exchange theses altcoins to make the best profit.

We also need a watcher like CGWatcher well setup.
It can restart the mining software, restart the operating sytem, it monitor and make statistic (we could all access to it) but more important, it switch to other mining pool when it's down and go back to it when it's up.
The watcher can do a lot of stuff but the main goal is to reduce the downtime. Every few minutes we save everyday will make a big difference after few months.
