Well initially its easier to get a model to commit if you offer up a % in the site itself- the girl sees it more as an investment in her future.
However I would never offer any models a % of the site again, even if it means losing her to another company. As soon as you do that you're answering to someone- usually someone who is completely ignorant and uninformed as to how the business runs. So you end up with a lot of explaining and complaints. Sorta defeats the purpose of working for yourself.
IMO, best solo girl strategy: All fees paid up front, will full release stating program owner has rights to images and model is responsible for X number of future shoots and shows. Obviously your up front costs go way up, but very much worth it
