Hi Paul,
Affiliates all have different opinions on this issue. Some prefer networks for ease, standardized reporting and consolidated checks - others prefer Indies. A great low cost network is

Depending on the type of products and commission plan, I may lean one way or another on my recommendation.
Hope this helps. Anyone else have feedback for Paul?
