Subscriptions Vs. Commissions

[Harman]

My business is scaling well at this point. I've followed @Fox's advice to start small so for our first 2-3 clients we charged next to nothing for the projects we did for them and they were thrilled with the results (and the price). We initially set out to provide our service as a subscription/monthly fee and now that we are attracting higher paying clients I'm wondering if the subscription model is better than the commission model.

Case-in-point: A client we are currently courting does large complex landscape installs. A job can net their company $100k+ easy. We've done research into their field and found that similar companies can net 3-5 new leads a month. Now we could offer our service for a monthly subscription service and target $5k/month, or up the ante a bit and charge a 5% commission for each lead->client generation we get them.

Any pros/cons to either model any of you have experienced? Just throwing this out there to get your thoughts?
