Those peace of minds you have SB for owl work wonders against gruul and zoo. They don't like you if you gain life.
Paladin and Jitte are very effective too.

Depends on what you are playing. Descendant of Kiyomaro works nicely against Gruul if your using white.

Replacing the maindeck Solifuge with Slum is becoming more and more common, with good reason. Given the fact that Regionals will be more heavily skewed towards aggro anyway, you should expect most Gruul decks to be sporting maindeck Slum.

Not to say that PeV isn't an amazing creature against gruul, just pointing out that past a certain point it becomes irrelevant.
