Test and see is good advice, I did that years ago on a batch of over 20 sites. Some HTML, some WP, some PHPbb (I did say it was years ago). All similar content. After a long time, no obvious difference in traffic. MUCH MORE WORK for the WP sites, the PHPbb, least for HTML. So for income/work ratio the HTML wins big time. And those WP sites I heavily edited to remove footprint to reduce hacking, it is hard to tell they are WP from the surfers side.

If you want to populating them with morphing feeds to make them look "live" then of course that would be different.
