Just generated these with cube explorer. I picked the ones with the fewest F moves from 15 moves or less and tried them to see which ones were good. None of them were, but these two aren't that bad.
[y] R2 U' R' F R U' R2 U R2 U R F' R
R' U R U' F' U R' U2 R U' R' U2 R U' F


Also, what V perms do people use? I'm currently using R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' y R2 U' R2' d R2, but the rotation and d move are slowing me down. I prefer RUF unless the alg flows really well.

z D' R2' D R2 U R' D' R U' R U R' D R U'

Better algs for these four 3x3 F2L cases?

1)U R' F R F' U2 L' U' L
2)U' L F' L' F U2' R U R'

3)U R U' R' U R U' R' L U2' L'
4)U' L' U L U' L' U L R' U2 R

Found these on Youtube and I was wondering if there are any better algs for these 3x3 F2L cases?

I would do:
1. y U' L F' L' F L U L'
2. Mirror
3. d2 R2 u R2' u' R2
4. Mirror

Not sure if there is anything better for the first two without rotating

It doesn't matter if there are rotations on either set, just looking for fast & finger friendly.

Does anybody know of a good RUF L (Ja) perm for big cubes? The best I can find is F U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' F', and I can barely sub-1.5 it on 5x5.

Thanks!

Still not exactly what you asked for but I do something like B2 R2 Uʼ R2 u R2 Dʼ R2 U R2 Uʼ. It does have a lot of R and U's. You could make it x' U2 x R2 Uʼ R2 u R2 Dʼ R2 U R2 Uʼ or y' R2 F2 Uʼ F2 u F2 Dʼ F2 U F2 Uʼ

How many cases could here be for last edge insert+OLL at one go? What's the set called? I just need to learn a few cases with all edges oriented.

Doing the last F2L pair + Orenting the last layer is OLS. The subset of having a connected F2L pair plus oriented edges is RLS-WV. All four first layer corners in place plus F2L edge flipped is apparently OLS-FE.

If your asking about having all first layer corners placed and having one edge out I'm not sure if that has a name or algs yet.

Ya. I know those :p if there aren't any sets, I'll try working on it

Any good algs for N-a Permutation? I currently use R U R' U (j perm) (undo 1st 4 moves)

I'm considering:
F' R U R' U' R' F R2 F U' R' U' R U F' R'
I use the first one as well, and I also hate it because of its length. Here are some others that people use:
L U' R U2 L' U R' L U' R U2 L' U R'
z U R' D R2 U' R D' U R' D R2 U' R D' z'
z D R' U R2 D' R U' D R' U R2 D' R U' z'
And another one I just got by changing another alg (R' U R2 B2 U R' B2 R U' B2 R2 U' R U') slightly:
R' U [R2 x'] U2 F R' U2 R F' U2 [R2 x] U' R U'
The F R' U2 R F' bit isn't good though.

Anyone have good algs for these PBL cases? As many different algs as possible from different people would be helpful :)
S/A (anywhere)
S/D
A/A (one on F, one on B/one on L, one on R)
A/A (one on F/B, one on L/R)
