There is no debate on this. It's a simple fact that PPS means pay per signup.

However, if a sponsor offers revshare and PPS without trials, I will promote them via revshare unless their members' area doesn't look like it will retain members once they join the site or their PPS payout is a lot more than the amount of the full join. If I think people will renew their memberships multiple times, I will always choose to promote revshare.
