The key is quality, put together a site with love, care and knowledge then you have a chance. Non-exclusive or exclusive. Cookie cutters will not work as well, because they are thrown together with little individualism.
If you can afford good exclusive it's always a bonus. But do not buy bad exclusive, exclusive shit still stinks.
How to tell if it's good? Well that's your job and part of the secret to being a winner at this porn lark. 
A few pointers are, how independent is the shooter, how desprate is he to do a deal, how long has he been doing this and what do his girls look like.

The "me too" approach is usually doomed. The guy who gets in there first with a new idea almost always has a great competitive edge, and even if others come in, the slices of the pie just get smaller and smaller with each additional rip-off.
Do your own thing your own way and do it well and you'll slowly build up a loyal membership base. You can't please everybody, but if you can please a few each week so much they want to remain members indefinitely, you've got a good thing going.
While I think exclusive content works best overall, not everyone can pull that off. I believe the person with a clear idea that's a little different from what others are doing, who identifies a niche and understands it, then serves it well...he., too, can make a living in this business.
