Agreed, I don't trust that solo mining pool. It would be VERY easy for the pool operator to simply keep any blocks that are found without paying out anything.
If you don't trust that site, there's also this one:

At least there's a registration process. Not everything you see is a scam, fellas!
Neither pool has found a block, which makes sense, because most of the users are pointing U2s or block erupters at it. A few TH/s is not going to find a block anytime soon.
I agree that the pools could be legit, but without knowing anything about the pool operator it is impossible to make an informed decision about whether or not the pool is trustworthy.
There have been many situations in the past where pool operators stole pool funds and disappeared. Since solo mining is not likely to produce any blocks unless you are running some serious horsepower, it would be very easy for pool ops to steal solved blocks.
If there was an independent way to audit the pool, I would not have an issue with it.
