I understand, shares are a metric of how close the miner got to "guessing" the correct answer.
If you're going to solo mine, I don't believe the pool you choose makes any difference. You are simply obtaining mining credentials from the pool.
When I get my Bitaxe delivered, I am going to mine to OCEAN (npub1qtv…7dze)
https://ocean.xyz/
as I like their ethos.
Bitcoin Mechanic discusses them in detail, he works for them.

When I mined with my S19 (until May this year), I switched between F2Pool and BTC.com and they were both a similar payout.
