Lowering the pagepool will increase the available ram but will reduce the number of programs that can be running in the background.

Not an issue for most of us who prefer to shut down all programs after use.
But those who like to keep things running for quick access may not like the lower PP.

a PP of 6 should be quite enough (thats the stock VZW setting) if your careful to keep your rom as clean as possible.
