It depends on your content.
With some content, a premium AVS is the way to go. A good example of this is building an amateur site and putting it on ProAdult Quantum. Members who join your site also get access to the paid area of Voyeurweb and a shitload of other amateur stuff.. pretty much an inexhaustible supply of porn.. so those things will make up for whatever shortcomings your members area has.
On the other hand, if you've got, say, a hentai site, and you try put it on the same premium AVS I mentioned above, its not gonna help you retain because the AVS doesn't have much of the sort of shit the surfer joined your site to see.
So with some sorts of content, a good premium AVS can pick up the slack if you've not got time or content to do regular updates. But if you've got something special, and you can update regularly, the profit potential with a paysite is MUCH greater.
Question: how many of you who've recommended AVS over paysite have run both?
