Toby: I'm not saying that the two aren't different beasts, but I disagree with the idea that being your own model is the cheap and easy way of starting a paysite. As for quality bought content, I'm not sure how much that runs per set, but I do know how much my outfits/props alone have cost, and I'd imagine they're more than comparable. (Ever been to a lingerie shop or seen the prices on quality toys?) Besides tangible costs, there's a whole additional world of work and hassle that comes with being your own content (from pedicures to tit jobs to potential stalkers to babysitters). From this side, the grass sure does look greener if you can just go shopping for the exact pics you want on a content provider's site.
Nooze: the reason I would recommend CCBill over a merchant account is because a lot of webmasters prefer CCBill affiliate programs. There seems to be less worry about shaving, getting checks on time, and having enough sales to get a check.
edit: Before you decide what kind of PPS payout you'd want to have, you should operate the site for a while and see what your retention is like. (Unless you have a nice investment to pay affiliates from the get-go and want to take the risk, of course.)
