I think that may include a time investment... like if you're making $30pps vs. revshare with an average value of $30 (time of course), you're basically hit the same if they both fold up.

In the short term, it probably is safer to go with PPS, but if you know a company is solid and your traffic matches well, revshare can kick PPS in the teeth for your profits. A bit of danger and game either way....

Edit, I guess it does equal out... If you're banking on the investment and it's lost, that's harsh. Same fold, if you're banking on the money up front and it goes, it's going to hurt either way.
