It's not something I insist upon but given the choice between two equal programs I will favor the one without urls on affiliate promo material. This one can hit your CTR somewhere between about 1% - 10%.
That's one of the main things I look for too. More and more sponsors are doing this with their promo material.
But if a sponsor lets me make my own promo banners for them, I'll use them.

I don't mind logos at all. After all, I'm sending surfers to their site. But I want to make sure as much as possible they go there through my affiliate link, rather than typing the url in the tool bar.
