We went this route since I do get Mutt's point, even though I don't necessarily agree with it.
We put CCbill on some sites since there were a handful of sites, a well known review site comes to mind, that would only send traffic to a ccbill site, but I think that had more to do with them hating RevEX back then than anything else. (over five years ago) Did the move bring in more affiliates? No. It really only worked for that one affiliate and even it came over to NATS eventually.
Maybe solo sites do have a disproportionate amount of people that only do CCbill, but I put that up to laziness on the part of the affiliate that learned how to use CCbill back in the days of Tawnee and Raven and weren't comfortable using anything else, along with the patently false perception that CCbill couldn't be cheated as solo sites have a bad rep for burning webmasters.
I don't really see any big affiliates jumping in here to echo the "CCbill or bust" dialectic.
