PPS or Revenue Sharing

I think it depends on the site and the niche. If the site is full of original content and gets updated regularly giving people a reason to renew, I'd go for revshare. But if it's a cookie cutter no original content type of site I'd go for PPS

With smaller programs and real amateur sites I choose revshare (which is often the only option on small programs anyway), but with the sites the big programs put out I choose PPS. Those sites aren't built to retain. They're built for the upsell.

Exactly, that's my philosophy.

Additionally, I usually keep to Revshare on tight niche-based sites.

Revshare for unique, high-quality and/or microniche sites. PPS for megasites. Not a hard-and-fast rule; a very small handfull of megasites have amazed me with their ability to retain members. But for the most part...not so much.

Newbie hint: Some of the best-retaining sites take a long time to start making sales - you have to wait for the targeted SE traffic to come in. Once it does, it's long-term gold.
