What affilate network should I use to promote my product

Hi

This is my first post here. I am asking this question as a merchant trying to figure out what affiliate network I should use to promote my product.

I want to use a network with a large number of affiliates, that's trusted by the affiliates.

My initial thought was to use ejunkie or clickbank, but I keep hearing bad things about clickbank - supposedly I can get hit for commission payouts transactions that ever happened? And cookie theft is rampant? (Any truth to these stories?)

Ejunkie doesn't auto pay affiliates which to my mind means from an affiliates view is less trustworthy?

I have looked at dozens more and honestly my head is spinning.

I can't tell which are good and which are bad. All the online reviews I can find are written from the perspective of the affiliate and not the merchant and all seem biased through monetization (its hard to credit a review the reviewer is being paid for)

To all the active affiliate marketers out there, if you could choose what network I should use, what would you choose? And why?

To all the merchants using affiliate networks, what have your experiences been like?

Thanks!
