Here is a good site for checking out coin profitability based on your hardware.

On top of that visit the
Altcoin Mining section. This is where you will find likeminded miners and previous threads covering some of your questions. IT's been a while for pools, but I did use this one when a while ago for profit switching and payout coin selection.
