Yes and no. Replace "well establish sponsor" with "good sponsor" and "Not so establish" with "bad sponsor" and you have it. Just because a sponsor is well established does not mean that they have good retention. Similarly, new sponsors can be competent enough to retain customers long term. The only way to tell the difference is trial and error. Put up their recurring link code and watch your stats. If the average customer retention is good keep them like that, if not start using PPS and also start using a different sponsor. When you have enough sponsors who make more for you via recurring that the PPS ones do, drop the PPS.
There are a lot of good sponsors, and a good recurring will make you more in the long run than PPS. If you have enough good recurring sponsors on your books, there are only three reasons to use PPS:
1. If they are kick ass converters (e.g. you make less than half as much per sale, but you get over three times as many sales). The only sites of this type that I am aware of are the "free membership" sites.
2. If they sell something that is not in conflict with your main business, so acts as extra sales (penis enlargement, Viagra, electronic cigarettes, porn eBooks, etc...).
3. You know you have a lot of bills about to hit, so you want a lot of money next month and are prepared to loose out long term so that you can make next month's electricity/card/whatever bills.
