well I will give slush another 12 hours to find this block if not im gone somewhere else.
Start with slush, all seems great when the luck is good, hit a few long blocks for a week or so, jump ship to ghash, get bored of the "consistency", come back to slush and ride the up down wave - at least it's not boring...
The point a lot people are missing is the clock it ticking.. Do you really think this " mining " is going to last more than 1 year or so before it becomes a losing enterprise for most people unless you have the latest and greatest hardware, an even then the payouts will be less and less.
In the near future when all the "BTC" have been mined and there are no more " rewards" for mining, what then ?
All BTC will "mined" within 5 years maybe less, then now more " block" rewards.
The point I'm making is to " make hay while the sun shines ". We dont have time to hang around waiting for things to " straighten out ".

Sigh - bitcoin wont be "all mined" in 5 years - you are looking at about 100 years away - current estimate is between 2110 and 2140.
Yes you will need to continually upgrade your hardware if everyone else is doing the same.
I've seen thousands of people like you pass through here with their pearls of wisdom. Read some stuff and find some stuff out. Stop blurting the first thing that comes into your head.
