I never had too many horror stories with PUGS. And I have found that some super-40-raiders don't seem to have the flexibility needed in 5-man. Because in Raiding, you are usually limited to what you are required to do and it's a different setting. All those non-raiding players out there have done PUGs a lot and 5-man instances alot so they are more "adaptable" to sticky situations and varied encounters. Personally, for 5-man, I prefer a PUG over guild raiders because from my own experience, raiders are not good at 5-man (gear only helps to a certain extent) and PUGers are "quicker on their feet" than raiders who I guess are more used to "regimented" military style roles.

If someone is new and doesn't perform or has never done it, all you have to do is help them understand what they need to do nicely and they will usually improve. There's a difference between "wtf you @#$%ing noob..." and "hey please dont do that because...try this instead".
