BTCGuild = 3% Fee (Thats ALOT when it comes to bigger BTC amounts)
Eligius = due to some problems i seem to get there around 2% less than ghash.io
So it DOES matter where you mine.

I get just under 4% less 'hashrate' at GHASH than BTCGuild which would counteract the 'fee', there are also (unconfirmed) missed payments - never quite managed to corroborate it, but certainly the ppol has found more blocks than the 'popup' message has notified me that i've received payment for the block

YMMV, but personally I only allow the traded ghs from cex to mine at ghash.

I also get ~4% less hashrate at Eligius than I do a BtcGuild, but some people are blinded by 0% pool fees. They may actually be losing out in the long run.

minus BTCGuild's 3% fee and your clearing a WHOPPING 1%... it amazes me how blindly greedy some people are around here

also if you used eligius you would have known that wizkid has been working on his own version of cgminer for KNC miners that can net you an extra ~~10%~~ 5% or more hashing power.

Don't look now, but Eligius is gaining on BtcGuild and is not far behind (15% versus 17%). Some of this change is due to variance. Are you going to switch away from Eligius if they become the second largest mining pool, or are you going to be "greedy" and stick with them?

That chart is wrong most of the times. Check pools websites:
Eligius is 1.6PH/s
BTCGuild is 3.3PH/s
GHash.io is 4.7PH/s
