the con would be that some speed may be lost, it should be measurable but maybe not so noticeable. i think stability may be subject to vary as well.
you need to figure out how you use apps and how many megs the apps you use require. if you tend to keep programs open throughout your usage of your phone, setting your pagepool higher will keep your phone more stable and run smoother, but you will obviously have less available ram. this might be fine though, if all (or at least, some or most) of the apps you use are kept open you wont need too much free ram.
just to throw in what i use, i set mine to 6.5 since i keep Messaging open always. im left with anywhere from 18-20 megs free on dcd 3.2.6 after messaging is running.
(this is my understanding of pagepool, but please correct me if im wrong)

I don't think your wrong, but , Im typing this on my Titan, and have messaging open and a couple of other progs open, and my phone is really fast!! Immediate action with no waiting....
I have pp set at 16, and still have 18Megs of ram left. This is all thanks to no2chem and his nueROM3. (ignore my signature...haven't changed it in a while).
When fresh boot, I have over 25Megs. I don't know about everybody else, but bigger pp and nueROM3 rox da house!!
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.
And by the way, Im clicking your 'Thanks', cause that was a very good question.
Seriously....
