This makes the most sense to me. Plus if you run a paysite you should definitely put some password protection on it, anything half decent will also have the ability to throttle limit each account to a certain number of megs/gigs a day before disabling their account for the day. This avoids the bandwidth problem, there is no custom coding necessary, and you dont have to rack your brain with the whole tokens system, nor do your surfers. I mean if they want to bust a nut do you really want them sitting there calculating how many tokens they will be wasting and what they will have left afterwards?
Also a much easier solution would be a content management system. Hell you could easier turn this into a custom content management system where the user decides which update he would like to receive next.
