Recently started mining and by recently I mean last night.
Most of my rigs are ITX so all are single GPU setups; 2x270x, and a 380. Currently mining monero with claymore and getting 420-450H/s on the 270xs and 455-550H/s on the 380. I am using nicehash for CPU mining on two of the three, nothing crazy, but looks to be on track to get me another $2-$3 a day. All three setups are on Windows 10.
In addition to the above I have a media server running ubuntu that I would like to leverage. I thought about using it for SIA seeing as I have 11TB free, but I've read some horror stories.

Questions:
- Should I stick with monero or should I move to zcash? Looking at some of the calculators zcash has a higher profit margin.
- The media server motherboard can support multiple GPUs and would like to take advantage of it, but I read that hash rates are reduced a fair amount under linux compared to windows 10. Is this true and/or coin/miner dependent?
- If I do use the server to mine should I look at NVIDIA or AMD GPUs to do so?
- I have a line a on a VEGA 64 for $550 and I've read they can hash well, but can be a PITA to get setup. Is that still case?
