I've seen both sides too. Usually the ones that had issues having their own merch had issues because they were up to no good and the bank blows up.

We've used Netbilling for years and they took a ton of the stress out - now I know CCbill is a great company and great people started it so I am pro ccbill all the way - but Netbilling did the same level of "headache removal" as CCbill, including helping find merch banks. So all things being equal except one, more money, is what I am pointing out.

In a glutted market with every single margin being critical like TMM said, a few points extra anywhere you can find them is crucial... at least imo.
