I hope you got some from my explanation. My suggestion is to handpick 5 to 7 good peers (relatively close, low jitter). Stratum 1 or 2 doesn't matter that much. Give your machine 2-3 days to sync (when deploying ntpd the first time) or one day after a reboot before judging the quality of your peers.
I've traditionally used the mcc.ac.uk ones (0.023 jitter)... I've got about 40 servers on the list at the moment... I'll cut out the ones with the bad jitter/delay then. Even if I get a GPS source working I'd rather know how far I am from reality.. if it gets too far I know something is fubar.
Regarding the offset and jutter columns - what scale is this? I thought it was seconds, but you just quoted 2957.34 as 'a jitter of >1 second' - I would read that as a jitter of over 49 minutes!! (so I know I'm wrong).
