With six cards, you will definitely see faster payouts by limiting the enabled pools to just a few.  However, you might want to reconsider disabling MPH if only to keep Equihash open as an option. ZCash has been rising in value lately and the pools you currently have enabled don't yet offer it; equihash also tends to run well on the type of memory in 1060s/1070s. For BlockMasters, I personally prefer using the MC Parameter over the auto-switch ports because the pricing reflects individual coins rather than averages for all the coins using each algorithm port.  If you're interested, you can adjust those settings on the pool's Pricing tab.  With that particular pool, I also find the Actual Prices rather than the estimates to be a bit more accurate.

Unfortunately it can take a bit of trial and error to find the optimal settings for the specific collection of GPUs you are using, but the results are often better than trying to apply a one-size fits all strategy.  I'd appreciate it if you could keep me updated on your results; that type of feedback can help me optimize the software for various pools.

Yeah, I have a feeling I'm going to be enabling and disabling pools often to find the right combination.  I have had luck in the past with Ahashpool and Blazepool (I experience with other multi-pool and multi-algorithm miners).  I've also used Zpool extensively in the past because of the wide variety of coins it supports.

One thing I think that could be worked on in your program is more options for mining and profit display.  Maybe have a "summary" look, so I can see what pools are currently being used and what algos?  I'd also like to see Current and 24 hour profit as well as 7-day maybe.  I realize this information is available, but I need to actively search for the data to see what pools and then calculate manually what my profit is 24 hours.  Also, I need to connect to my rig to see this data, maybe some type of API or a clean html mining info page would be beneficial.
