best dating site set-up?

Hi,
I am soliciting opinions from you again please?
Since my last visit I have been busy doing some part time research with respect to setting up a dating site.....WELL, the more i read the more confusing it got...I know what brand i want to create, but could anyone give me some sound advice on the type of dating site I should set up?
Template system, Script or full dating service providers???
I pasted an article from this wwebsite on the subject.

Template Systems

The second option available for the creation of a dating site with outside support uses the concept of Template Systems. Companies that provide this service offer template sites, free of charge, with a limited degree of variation per template, (slightly different design, different colours etc), all of which are fairly basic in design, although some do include mobile and text services, as well as chat services. There is normally a shared database on offer, but this is seldom of a significant size. Similarly payment systems are based around third party merchant accounts that are expensive and cannot offer recurring payments. If you work with a template system provider, you will receive a share of revenue, but normally only on initial payments, or on a per profile or email basis. Scammers are known to take advantage of many Template systems based on their limited anti-fraud processes and payment methodologies. The combination of a limited selection of template designs, a small database, restricted payment options, and a high volume of scammers, means that retention and conversion rates are often poor. However earnings and potential profits are normally better with a Template provider than a Dating Scripts company.

Dating services

By far the best choice of the three types of external providers of dating sites, are those companies that offer a full dating service. By this we mean companies that provide a complete range of dating sites (customisable templates, co-branded sites, white label sites, and portal links) with a wide range of site features. The good dating service companies have a substantial shared database of members, superior payment methodologies, good anti-fraud systems, and a fair way of sharing revenue, which ensures the active site owner will make an extremely good income. As an example of these companies that offers the most functionality with the best financial rewards is Online Affiliate Dating Sites solutions by World Dating Partners - Worlddatingpartners.com. Its unprecedented speed of set-up, a shared database of over 3.5 million members, a full range of merchant accounts, the best anti-scam practices, and the widest range of functionalities on offer. World Dating Partners recognised as a world leader with unique filtering systems that support creative niche markets, offers outstanding retention and conversion rates, and some of the best revenue sharing models. All systems are free, with the facility to go it alone with the company's blessing if a site/site-owner ever feels he would prefer to work independently with his own data-base at a later date.
