That's up to you. I've got my GPUs on Seti and CPUs on yoyo.

<snip>... it occurred to me that I should maintain a personal blacklist of projects that offended me. Today, after a minimum of rest, I am thinking that this is a method I should make use of when needed, but it is on the other hand not the only way to avoid being offended.

Edit,
an addendum regarding Yoyo's policies:
Regarding ECM WUs which due to their high RAM requirements cause hosts to fall idle, and run into danger to become unresponsive because swapping is being employed if not carefully avoided by users: I am sure that Yoyo is aware that he sends WUs with such properties, since it was discussed on the yoyo@home forum before. Also, I believe that he finds it acceptable that users need to learn about, and employ, advanced workarounds to run his projects.
It is similar with how he runs YAFU. There, the partly singlethreaded, partly multithreaded jobs are not easy to control, cannot be reasonably run together with other projects, and per default introduce notable under-utilization of multiprocessor hosts. Yoyo himself mentioned in the YAFU forum that it is possible to work around this problem by overprovisioning the host (by means of artificially increased <ncpus> or/and multiple client instances), and thereby basically shrugged off this issue.
At YAFU, he also is aware of, but does not care, that credits/hour never converge for a given host. How he handles credits related issues at yoyo@home is difficult to see for the time being, since completed WUs vanish from the database almost immediately.
Somebody is gaining on you...Some of you guys are sandbagging for sure, but for now i can revel in the #1 spot!
Indeed, hence my wish to brag while I could!Somebody is gaining on you...

But the Last 7 days credits are still showing you at the top.
…...and Milkyway@home is up next!
August is BOINC's astronomical month (well, except for the yoyo bit)—— Sprint on project Milkyway@home ——
from 08/30/2018 22:00 (UTC) to 09/02/2018 21:59 (UTC)

Edit: Darn, @Orange Kid drew faster.
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/top_hosts.php #5 is a host with Titan Black... and two FirePro S9150 for company.My love for Milkyway has got me looking at older Titan cards, though I don't know how their theoretical performance translates into the real world. The charts on the M@H site don't directly compare AMD to Nvidia
Yeah, don't those AMD cards throw a wrench in the gears as far as extrapolating the Titan's performance. I did not happen to see any leading machine running just a Titan (or Titan Black, or Titan Z), which leads me to think that they may not do well.http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/top_hosts.php #5 is a host with Titan Black... and two FirePro S9150 for company.
