My advice is to thoroughly sift through your sponsor's content. Then surf a couple of the big lists and see if you easily find the the sets of content you'd like to use.

Yes on that. I get listed with sponsor content all the time. It's hard enough making sales with freesites and making them worthwhile considering the time I put into each one (which is several hours per FS sometimes). Spending more on content is just crazy at this point
Find the right sponsors, the ones that are not over promoted and that provide you with top-quality content, often non watermarked. There is a HUGE amount of free promo content offered by sponsors these days. And if you need more and have been doing this for a while, you shouldn't have a problem getting more content from your sponsors too.
If you do go with content providers, watch out. Most of the cheap content is not only already overused but you can find it provided for free by some sponsors too!
The only reason to use your own bought content is so that you can pick and choose, and maybe switch sponsor, for the freesite down the road. Honestly, I just prefer to make a new FS then to go back and "update" old freesites, especially after they have been reviewed and accepted.
