IMHO, I would recommend going with a small paysite. The problem with many AVS sites these days is that they are too watered down and many of them look the same to the surfer (in other words, same content different design). It also depends on which AVS you choose, but what happens if a surfer visits your (AVS) site and notices that he/she "will also get access to many other great sites" so they decide to go and check out the other sites (to see what else is being offered before joining), decides "yeah, this is great" and signs up at whatever other AVS site they happen to be browsing at the time (not yours). Surfers don't know or care about who gets credit for what. On the other hand, if you wanted later to be able to sign up affiliates, I would recommend going AVS. The reason I say this is because (personally) I hate clicking on a "Webmasters" (Affiliate) link and seeing the CCBill affiliate signup; because it usually means that there will be NO promo content or materials of any kind, which can be a huge pain in the ass. Most times that I see that I just forget it and move on. If you do end up going through an AVS though, I would highly recommend going through one of the better ones like AdultBouncer or DeluxePass.

Also, keep in mind that since many AVS's have a fairly large member base, it is therefor easier for a pass cracker to bruteforce and find working user/pass combos. So if a surfer knows where to look, they can get a free pass to your AVS site without having to pay for it. Just my .02
