All those factors should always bring up your retention. conversion from trials should be better too but only if there is enough content there that they don't beat off to everything they want in the first couple days. Month to month retention is often about regular updates and things like smart coming soon placements. Trial conversion more often falls into hitting your customer with sd many things that interest them that they don't feel they can get it all in the trial period. Limited trials work VERY well too.

The best thing to do early on is to try both options but maybe only with your own traffic or an affiliate you are close to, then compare the numbers and plug them into something like my spreadsheet so you can divine the long term results.
