If I can sell a new membership today, I can sell another one again tomorrow, IMHO. That is my job as an affiliate.
As an affiliate, my job will always be to sell.
As a paysite owner, my job is to sell and retain.
That is my personal take and preference on things. I know that this varies by the person which is why both options are offered, so don't jump on me for my opinion and for running my business as I see fit for me.

Agreed again. But be careful because some have such a high price point set (say $39.95) that if you were to get 50% revshare that would be $20 for one month alone. Then the sponsor might have some non-recurring options such as 3 month, 6 months, and one year.
Last month I got a $100 (my cut) sale from one program for example which is far better than $35 PPS (or $25 - $30 PPS which is more common these days). A certain percentage of surfers will choose those options. In some cases (traffic and program dependent) I shit you not, you can actually make more
upfront from Rev share than PPS.
It will depend...
