Whats the difference between the poker sites on the same network? I recently read that carbon pays out pretty fast but lock is iffy, how can that be if they are both from Merge network? And also Which is better?

The sites operate seperately but the customers of all the sites on the same network are pooled in as far as i understand.

Also each site has its own P&L operation, cashflow and payout system as a part of the network.

.. aside from some separate special tournaments &/or private games found on the different sites.

On some networks there are MANY sites.

Never had a problem with Carbon payout. Always takes less than a month for me. Lock poker is a different story, I try the check process and after waiting over 2 month I complain in live chat. They ended up sending my withdraw to their casino system where the casino send my money to Western Union. They email me the control number to pick up my money from there. Lock told me that the process would be faster now if I went the casino route. You can do checks in the casino route too. As for Black chip poker I don't know yet, I just open an account there so ask me in a few months. Hope that helps

Most of the time the biggest difference that you're going to find between the difference skins on a particular network is going to be customer service. I've read many times that RPM has the best customer service on merge network but I've never played there so cant personally vouch for them.

Although they operate on the same skin they are completely seperate legal entities and run by different people. The payout process is unique to each individual site.
