Well it's rather hard to say which MGP or TGP delivers how much and what kind of traffic. When I start submitting to a new DB I always start with as many Sites as possible, and after a few months I take a look at my stats and weed out those that didn't send me any traffic in the past. So together with adding partner accounts this gives me a nice Database after a while.

Additionally I have the feeling that many smaller Sites send better traffic that the bigger ones. For example when I've only submitted to a "normal" database with the bigger sites in the past I was rather happy when I had ~ 1 sale per 30000 gallery visitors. But when I've started to build and submit to my TGP Database with ~ 1200 active sites my average conversion rate dropped below 1:20000 (gallery visitors), so it looks like the traffic from smaller sites is a bit better.
And if you think about it it also makes sense this way, some bigger sites have better content listed than some paysites, so why would anybody need to signup or buy anything? And many smaller sites list lots of FHGs, shitty galleries, cheaters etc. cause nobody submits the good galleries to them. So a surfer from a smaller site might be easier to impress with your gallery/paysite than a surfer from a bigger site.

But I'm only guessing around here, it's pretty hard to find solid proof for that theory
