I made a bunch of notes, but I don’t have them handy. I’ll see if I can find them.
Off the top of my head, I compared payout schemes, KYC requirements, payout method (on chain vs lightning), usability of the platforms, platform fees, etc.
I’m not sure NiceHash was the leader, but I tried it briefly before sticking with Braiins. It was also a bit of sunk cost at a certain point, given the withdrawal minimums.

Found the notes. I was mostly correct. These are the details I looked for:
  1. payout threshold
  2. payout schemes
  3. fees
Surprisingly, there is a decent amount of variation.
In my notes, I had details for ANTPOOL, f2pool, ViaBTC, and Luxor. Presumably I took notes on Braiins and NiceHash elsewhere, but I don't see that now.

I can't speak to the accuracy of these now. It's been a while since I did this research.
