I used SlushPool to get credit for my hash cycles contributed. Instead of winner-take-all, it's a commune that shares in the harvest (i.e., a mined coin when someone solves the hash).
But as said, it's an arms race. You want the most hash cycles per unit power consumed.
Interestingly, I'm hearing that the BTC mining professionals are targeting night-time power in West Texas, when the wind blows but load is low and power in excess. The price of power in the region [used to?] go negative, as producers still made money with the government subsidies. Now they can make more money selling low cost electrons to the bitcoin crowd.
