the lower payout seems to work the best. the pending join method at full payout is somewhat tricky because rebills are still subject to possible returns just as the initial transaction was, even though that one cleared. lastly, webmasters hate seeing joins disappear from their accounts so i wouldn't recommend deducting returns unless you are running rev share.
