As far as which format to use on free galleries, I would use whichever format the members area uses for that site being promoted. This way they are sampling exactly what you are selling and there will be no surprises for them after they join.

As far as which format is better, I am a firm believer that wmv is the winner because the wmv ends up with a dramatically smaller file size. Usually in the neighborhood of 30% smaller! So what an mpeg can do in 1000KB a wmv can do the same in less than 700KB. Delivering the same content faster has many advantages, mainly for dial up users and slower dsl users, as well as costing the webmaster less to serve and store.
